Hi everyone,
I am running Red Hat 7.3, kernel 2.4.18-4 and XFree86 Version 4.2.0. My
video card is Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64. Just now I am running nv drivers ( the
ones that come with the O.S. )My problem is that I cannot run X-window in
depth 16 and 1024x768 resolution without getting anoying but drawing. This
results in bad windows drawing on KDE and some lines on Gnome (xmms makes
this more frecuent) . When I open "Control Center" chapter on Nautilus Help
the hole screen turns ilegible with bad drawn lines all over the desktop.
Movin the window around cleans it. Games go really slowly.
I have tried Nvidia official drivers(2960) and X couldīnt even start because
of SCREENS NOT FOUND.
Anyway, I have faced that if I disable acceleration with nv driver on
XFree84-4 the bad drawing disapears but obviusly the system turns very slow.
Section "Device"
Identifier "RIVA TNT2 M64"
Driver "nv"
BoardName "Riva TNT2 M64"
Option "NoAccel"
EndSection
What I would like to do now is, disable just the minimun acceleration, i
mean, not use "NoAccel" option but try to discover what part of it causes
the problem. I had problems, as well, when tried to install Nvidia Detonator
drivers for Windows and just now my other partition ( Win XP pro) is running
a MSI drivers that gave me the best chance to get things going on. I have to
disable bitmaps and cursor acceleration because it is the only way to get
relative stability ( windows no crashes ;) ). So maybe, just finding out how
to disable this in Red Hat could give me what I am looking for. On XP I can
run 1024x768, 32 bits, and 75 Hz with no problem at all.
I am wondering if maybe my problems come from my configuration or my bios. I
have 1 AGP and 4 PCI slots. The AGP for Nvidia, the 1 Pci is empty and then
soundblaster,winmodem(unfortunely) and ethernet.
So... do you know how to disable a part of the acceleration, any particular
conflictive one? Do you think I should change my PCI configuration? Flash my
bios? another more intelligent thing :-)?
thanks in advance and sorry about the bother. Any suggestion would be great.

P.D. Attached, my XFree86-4. The log does not report any EE or WW.
