For fun(?) I decided to test those NVIDIA drivers against the latest rawhide kernel and sundry other apps. Surprise! no worky. Anyway, that's not this lists problem and I am spamming over to the nvidia mailing list for guidance, but there was some interesting behaviour of the system when the module was loaded. Here are some of the highlights from /var/log/messages: Pretty Standard here: Apr 4 22:31:34 localhost init: Switching to runlevel: 5 Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005 Then the fun begins. The following three messages appear repeatedly: Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0. Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode Sprinkled with messages about gdm loosing its connection to X(not surprising if X is having serious issues): Apr 4 22:31:44 localhost gdm[4251]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Then the final message of Doom: Apr 4 22:32:29 localhost gdm[4139]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0 Anyhow, I'm running this on a Dell Latitude D800 with an Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x. Don't know if anyone on this list really cares at this point, and I don't think that anyone at Nvidia is going to give a rip either. Just thought you all might be curious! Sean
