I don't know how applicable this piece of advice is to this issue, because I am using Fedora 11 with the 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.x86_64 kernel (i.e. on a 64-bit install). In any case, I was trying to solve the occasional flickering that I was noticing and came across this site: http://www.ubuntusolutions.org/2009/02/screen-flickering-with-nvidia-on-ubuntu.html Specifically, the advice that proved useful was to add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/options (actually, any file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory; e.g. I used /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia):
options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords='PerfLevelSrc=0x2222' options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=1 Apparently, the equivalents of these registry values from the Windows driver are not enabled by default in Fedora (and I suppose not in Ubuntu, either, because I have never been able to resume successfully from suspend in Ubuntu or Fedora until now). Perhaps pci=nomsi is also needed, although I haven't checked if that option is needed. For me, when both the modprobe lines and the kernel option are active, I can suspend and resume using the nvidia driver successfully, and access my disks as well, which I couldn't do before, even with the pci=nomsi kernel option. I'm just posting this here because it might help some of the reporters of this bug. I will do more experiments later. -- [Acer, inc.
