Re: [newbie] freezes on 3d rendering with my nVidia drivers
Hi, I am just curious: where do you see the nVidia logo?

Re: [newbie] freezes on 3d rendering with my nVidia drivers
Early version of the drivers did not show the splash screen. It is full screen, white background with nvidia logo in center. I also have the PCI version and it seems to take forever to load the dirvers when I start X. Once loaded, there is little difference in 2-D speed between the generic nv driver and nvidia driver. I tried the latest drivers, but had problems I don't have time to solve right now. Earlier driver tarballs are still available from nvidia ftp site.I would recommend the 0.9-769 drivers as I had success with them. I am back to the generic nv driver. Games are run on win98SE box.

I was told that using them would make my problem easier to troubleshoot. However, if they were compiled on a different kernel version than the one I am using (almost certyainly since I am using Freq 2), can this cause me any probelms? This won't change my kernel will it? Many people have the mistaken belief that tarballs are always source. The nVidia tarballs are nothin more than archive (.tar), compressed (.gz) wrappers around secret, closed source, nVidia binaries. The src.rpm's are the same, but add in the increased ability to easily remove them when/if the nVidia closed binaries break your system. Which they will, sooner or later. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA Admiral Yamamoto: I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve.
