Re: [gentoo-user] Yet another geforce4 problem
Do you have any other gfx board you can put in ? Just to identify the source of the problem, ie. gfx board or mobo Nope, I don't:( But this is an interesting idea. Thanks Stuart. Alternatively do you get the problem when booting under a liveCD of some description Same [EMAIL PROTECTED] booting from liveCD and windows. (I have a small win partition for hw troubleshooting) So it doesn't look like a driver problem and Bob's guess seems to be correct. Unfortunately:( I've recently installed GeForce4 MX440 AGP 8x into my gentoo box and got it working. Bootsplash, opengl and so on.. But one serious problem remains. I have 90% chance to get garbled screen right after system reboot when bios is starting hw checks. The problem goes away after a random number of poweroffs. Is there a way to fix this? If you've upgraded the bios on the motherboard, then trash the motherboard. It's not doing a proper reset to the AGP bus. Other possibility is the chip on the MX440 is on the slow side of things and the reset is too short for it. Generally, the chip will eventually get slower as it ages and the problem will get worse. Thanks for the hint Bob, Upgraded the bios. The problem's still there:( As I don't reboot very often I may live with this for a while. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Yet another geforce4 problem
Hi all, I've recently installed GeForce4 MX440 AGP 8x into my gentoo box and got it working. Bootsplash, opengl and so on.. But one serious problem remains. I have 90% chance to get garbled screen right after system reboot when bios is starting hw checks. The problem goes away after a random number of poweroffs. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
