09 has done the trick for me, I am testing both the 32 and 64 bit
versiond of Gutsy. Been working like a charm for 3 days now, no lockups
at all.

Default Re: Demand on WORKING drivers
I'd like to follow up on Aaron's update, since not all posts in this thread 
refer to the same hardware. We identified a regression between 100.14.09 and 
100.14.11 specific to G72 based graphics cards (GeForce 7300 GS, etc.) on 
certain systems; this problem is being investigated. However, there are no 
known regressions between the two releases affecting G8x GPUs.

[Bug 145112] Re: Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups

2007-10-03 Thread rick_in_kingston
Also having the same problem here. Nvidia 7300, on an ASUS M2NVP-VM, have a 
6150 onboard but disabled. AMD X2 4200+ with 2G DDR2 800 ram (4 X 512).  I am 
running Gutsy beta, video driver is 100.14.19 with Compiz-Fusion enable, 
experiencing about 1 or more an hour. None with affects disabled. I did not 
want to install 100.14, but wanted to install 9636, but system would not let 
me. I also tried turning off cpu scaling in bios.  (Cool and Quiet)
Tried everything  I could think of to remove 100.14 but again was thwarted by 
system. This is on a generic (i386) kernel. 
I have another Gutsy install on the same machine but with the 64 kernel. I was 
able to install 963X, it is having no lockup problems at all with Compiz 
running and I can run with cpu scaling.
I had the same problems on Friesty with the 9755 and the 100.11 drivers. And 
again with the 96XX drivers, no problems
I think it is a nvidia driver problem with the 6 and 7 series video GPUs and 
any of the 97XX and higher drivers.

nVidia driver is 9755, not 8755, sorry.

[Bug 124601] Boot failure with multiple displays/cards enabled

2007-07-07 Thread rick_in_kingston
Public bug reported:

System Motherboard ASUS M2NPV+VM (onboard video nVidia 6150, GF 430 chipset)
CPU AMD 64x2 4200
Memory 1 GB DDR2 800 (6400)
Running 7.04 generic I386(up to date) with nVidia 9755 drivers.

Problem, added a nVidia GS 7200, with 2 VGA monitors, left TV out
connected to MB. System will now not boot, get splash, then blank
screens (get blank screens, can not get to tty1 etc), or go into safe
without disabling onboard video. I have tried booting with monitor
hooked up to MB also no go.

This is a multi-boot machine Ubuntu, (32 and 64), PClinuxOS 2007 and XP
Pro. BTW PClinuxOS and XP have no problems booting or running with
onboard enabled.

Any ideas about what I might have to tdo to system to get Ubuntu to work
the way I want? (2 monitors on 7200 for twinview and TV to 6150 to watch
DVDs)

System works perfectly good with either video alone, but not with both of them 
enabled at the same time, and only with Ubuntu, because PCLinuxOS 2007 and XP 
will boot properly, no matter what way I have the bios configured.
Boot is failing before I get to gui login.

It does not seem to be a nVidia driver problem because I can still boot
into PCLinux 2007 is not affected  although it is using 10014 driver
while Ubuntu is the 8755, and it happens the same way with either the
generic 32 or 64 boot.

What logs do you want? I can cause the problem to happen and get them
for you.
