Are there any cards that are known to work well with the version
of Nouveau in kernel 3.4.24 in Mageia 2? Or, better yet, a page
that has a list of cards and whether they work well?
I have been using an Asus ENGT430, but it's a little slow and has

They seem to always appear in pairs. Out of 1702 lines in dmesg,
286 of them are of the above form. I do

Wow! Thank you Ben and Pekka for the responses. I have them
at the ready for the next time the system misbehaves. In my
case, once the card locks up, I'm already blind, so I have
been using ssh to log in from another machine.
Thanks again!

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a question about how to recover
a card (an Asus ENGT430 card, which the box says is a GeForce GT
430, running Mageia 1 with kernel 2.6.38.8-server-10.mga) when

and with 64-bit Mageia 1 with kernel 2.6.38.8-server-10.mga, about
once a week, the mouse cursor disappears from at least one monitor
or the display locks up when exiting X. (I use runlevel 3 and
startx.) Usually, if the cursor di
