Re: Problem with nvidia drivers and current

2002-12-10 Thread Jan Malina 
For some reason i can't get the nvidia drivers working with my system (had
them working under 4.7-STABLE, but they refuse to wrok with 5.0-RC). Last
synced with current this weekend, and nothing worthwile has been added 
last
time i checked.
Now the problem is that when I start x, everything seems normal, idesk 
waimea pop up, but as soon as i open an application (xchat, gaim, eterm,
...) the system locks up, requiring a hard reset. Works fine with the nv
driver, but opengl performance is a bit uhm... sub par.


Hmm interesting, I'm now using the nvidia agp driver (Option NvAgp 1 
in /etc/X11/XF86Config), and it seems stable at the moment (also had to 
upgrade to waimea 0.4.0 because it kept seg faulting)... haven't really 
stressed it though. Might be an interesting hint for people who are 
having problems with the nvidia drivers.

Just ran tuxracer without a problem, so i can recommend people with 
problems to try using the nvidia agp driver, seems as if it worked for me :)

Anyone able to give me a few ideas?

Here are a few things that might help:

This is all on a 1ghz athlon with a VIA 133a based motherboard (abit
kt7a-raid)

dmesg | grep nvidia:
   Preloaded elf module /boot/kernel/nvidia.ko at 0xc05f01a4.
   nvidia0: GeForce2 MX/MX 400 mem 0xe000-0xe7ff,0xec00-
   0xecff irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci1

dmesg | grep agp:
   agp0: VIA 82C8363 (Apollo KT133A) host to PCI bridge mem 0xe800-
   0xebff at device 0.0 on pci0

kernel has as much as possible removed (splash and all are removed).

make.conf:
   ...
   CPUTYPE=i686
   CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
   CXXFLAGS+= -fmemoize-lookups -fsave-memoized
   ...

and a part of my XF86Config:
   Section Module
   Load  dbe
   Load  dri
   Load  extmod
   Load  glx
   Load  pex5
   Load  record
   Load  xie
   Load  xtrap
   Load  speedo
   Load  type1
   Load  freetype
   EndSection

   Section Device
   Identifier  Card0
   Driver  nvidia
   VendorName  NVidia
   BoardName   GeForce2 MX/MX 400
   BusID   PCI:1:0:0
   EndSection

I tried alot already (all things in a FAQ i found somewere, but it stays
unstable/unusable), any hints are welcome, as this REALLY anoying me.
