Hi, My box has an Athlon 1.3G, 512MB RAM, nForce4 ti4200. I installed RH 8.0 stock and nvidia's latest driver. It worked great. Added dual monitor support, worked great. Over time I upgraded kernels from 2.4.18-14 through -19-8 seemingly fine. Then with the latest 24-8 kernel XFree said it could not find a screen. Complaining about not finding a library file. So I rolled back to boot -19-8. Otherwise it's run without a hickup since Dec. A while ago I found X locking up a few times but associated it with a possibly not fully inserted ps/2 plug. But now I've had the lockup occur twice more. The screen locks up and stops responding to keyboard though the mouse will still move. Running top shows X is using 99%CPU. My only option is to ssh in remotely and kill X. This is the only oddity in my logfiles (Xfree and messages): insmod: Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - NVIDIA (I do see a sysctl: vm.overcommit_memory = 1 and by glancing into the kernel list I can see that it means it pretends there is enough memory... Over my head here, but that does sound a bit odd.) -- Steve Szmidt ___________________________________________________________ HTML in e-mail is not safe.
