Re: [expert] Nvidia issues
my two cents, :) 1. use agpgart instead of nvagp, 2. don't restart X too often, therefore use gdm or kdm, according to my experience, 2314 is extremely unstable, while 1541 is the best nvidia driver so far.

Re: [expert] Nvidia issues
Yes. On three occasions with the 2313 drivers I got a lockup by having 2 X window sessions open at once and then closing one down. It caused a hard lockup where the screen went black and the computer did not respond to anything. I have been back on the 1541 drivers for 2 weeks now without any similar problem. I have no plans to try the 2313 drivers again anytime soon. I have a GeforceDDR video card.

I was just in there FTP site not to long ago and didn't see a 2314 driver. Perhaps I'll try that. Thanks, John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
