[XFree86] Geforce 3 and glitches with "nv" drivers
Hi all, I use FreeBSD on one of my BOXes, this box is composed by: MSI KT4 Ultra MoBo Creative Geforce 3 Ti200 (Made by MSI) Athlon XP 2400+ C-Media Sound Chip. All the system is absolutely not Overclocked. The problem is not a great disaster , but is annoying: When I start X with "nv" accellerated (if I disable the accelleration the problem disappears) drivers and I enter Mozilla and all browsers that use Gecko (so Netscape and Galeon too) and I try to write something in a writing field if I move the cursor trough the words that I've wrote the cursor Image remains in between each letter make all very confused. Is very difficult find the real cursor in that chaos, but if I write a letter or I delete something (If I modify the field in anyway) all the cursor copies disappear.There is another problem. In wmaker and in gnome too when I select multiple objects on the desktop with the mouse using the "rectangle" done by hold pressed the left mouse button down pieces of this rectangle remain on the screen until I pass over them a window or any other Objects . As you can see this problems aren't very important, but very annoying (in particular when I have to write long E-Mails or something like this). If I disable the accelleration this disappears (but is very slow!). I use the lastest XFree86 release 4.2.1 on FreeBSD 4.7 , and I've tried Debian SID too on this Box with the same problems. I use AGP4x but with no AGP the problem remains. Thank you very much for your help Bye Marcello ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Disabling HWCursor does not seems to resolve my other problems(only this thing with the cursor) Thanks again bye Marcello ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

The problem is that BSD have poor Nvidia Binarys now :-P I have many problems with those drivers (The system takes 3 minutes to start) . So I should have to attend until my problem is solved in some way? Bye Marcello ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

It doesn't have as many feature as the binary drivers and it doesn't have the performance, but it has some benefits. Namely, that it works on many OSes and architectures and more people can support it. I don't think there are any quality problems with it. Actually, if you don't need the features of the binary drivers, I would recommend that you use the "nv" driver instead. Mark.

It's just that this card POSTs with clocks too low to support some acceleration without corruption. I've worked around this in CVS. This problem was likely limited to some GeForce3 and GeForce4 Ti cards. Mark.

If that solves the problem then this is fixed in the 4.3 pre-releases. If not then I don't know what the problem is. I saw one other report of something that sounded similar, but from the screen shots I saw of that, it didn't look like a driver issue, but rather, it looked like the Render extension got new functionality but the corresponding wrappers weren't added to XAA.

I have two others PC , 1 PIII 600 and 1 PIII 1000 .the PIII 600 is on an old Slot 1 SOYO MoBo ,the PIII 1000 on an ASUS CUV4x-EA , I've noticed that the problem is present on the ASUS , but not on the Soyo motherboard. So this isn't only a video card issue. Do you know if there is or will be a solution to this?
