[issues with nvidia hardware and black screens (rather than X windows) deleted] I had similar problems. I'm running a Shuttle NForce2 (SN41G2, IIRC) machine with the DVI card, sid, x.org, 2.6.14 (maybe 2.6.15?), kde, the nvidia closed drivers and udev. The symptom was that when I rebooted, X w

FIXED: nvidia binary driver locks up computer

I poked around on Andrew Schulman's site [http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/troubleshooting.html.] for a while, then settled in and spent an hour reading the readme file. In Appendix C, there is a listing of installed components, including files. I started poking around in those directo

nvidia binary driver locks up computer

I have an nforce2 system, and I'm using the onboard AGP graphics. I am running sid, 2.6.11-1-k7, nvidia binary drivers 7174. (The nv driver works, but it's much slower than the binary driver, I can't use my TV tuner card because it strains my system too much without the nvidia closed-source binary

Can't update my binary nvidia driver to 7174 when upgrading to 2.6.11

I'm running sid on an nforce2, with the k7-specific kernel. I am attempting to upgrade from 2.6.10 to 2.6.11. Every thing seems to work except for my nvidia driver. I attempted to move away from the "old" installer downloadable from nvidia to the new method described here: http://home.comcast.net

What's the easiest way to move some files in a directory tree?

Hello. I have a large directory tree, with scores of end nodes. Each end node in the tree has a number of files whose names end either in .mp3 or in .flac. I would like to copy the directory structure of the tree, but I want to move files that end in .mp3 to the new tree and leave the .flac fi

My drive only operates in UDMA2?

I'm troubleshooting something that has been bugging me for a while... Why does my drive seem to run only in UDMA2 and only do about 19.50 MB/s, according to hdparm? Everyone else always seems to have a faster drive than me, so I'm assuming that I'm misconfiguring something and it's not my hardw

I'm running a standard debian binary kernel package (kernel-image-2.6.0-1-686) and it seems that I get a message written to the system log for every USB event. Since I have a USB mouse and keyboard, there are rather a lot of events. The messages looks like these (sorry for the wrapping): Jan

So, I have an old P166, no MMX, no built-in USB, 96MB RAM, running 2.4.18-386 and Debian stable. I also have a Logitech USB WebCam. I'd like to use the cam. The first step was to purchase a USB card off of eBay. Easy enough. The second step was to find a load appropriate drivers. Not so easy.
