 |
|
I have a problem with the nvidia module fscking my computer, X dies except for the mousepointer after about 10-30 mins, usually when using a webbrowser or switching desktop. If I kill X (by logging in remote, the local keyboard is dead) the system hardlocks.
I find the following in my dmesg: | Code: | Apr 24 23:45:33 solarwind Badness in pci_find_subsys at drivers/pci/search.c:167

Note that it's always repeated twice.
According to google its only a warning about calling pci_find_subsys() but in this case it seems to be a problem.
Ive tried to use NVAgp instead of kernel AGPGart and I have also tried different versions of the kernel (currently gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5) and nvidia modules.
Hardware:
Asus A7V266 mobo
Athlon Tbird 1.4ghz @ 1050mhz (to avoid overheating problems)
512Mb of perfectly tested ram
nvidia gf4 mx

Did you load the correct modules in xorg.conf? I have both a GF 4 Ti and a GF FX5200 running with Xorg and the nvidia drivers.

Do you load 'glx' too? Check the NVidia docs for more info on this.

Hi,
I've got the same message, its very odd..
Every once in a while X freezes up and starts eating all of my CPU. The pc keeps responding though I can log in with ssh.
My config is:
k6-2 450
ASUS P5A mobo
GeForce 2 mx4
gentoo-dev 2.6.5-r1 kernel with Reddeman6 patchset applied
And of course a Reiser4 filesystem. |

I think I've fixed it by switching of
| Code: |
Processor type and features -->
[ ] Use register arguments (EXPERIMENTAL)
|
in my kernel configuration.
I'd noticed that it says in the help of this item that it will probably break binary only modules. Which I think is what the nvidia module is.
I'm not really sure yet. But xorg continued to work for two hours after I re-compiled the kernel and rebooted. Which is way longer than before.
Hope it helpes.
Grtz,
Noodle |

I also have the same problem. If I use the nvidia drivers it locks X after about 30min and I have to reboot. Works fine when I use the "nv" driver instead of"nvidia" driver.
I have tried recompiling my kernel, re-emerging the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, and different versions of the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel. Nothing works.
I use kernel 2.6.5-r1gentoo-dev-sources
geforce 4 mx440 |

try
in your XF86Config.
try running you tbird with an integer clock multiplier (10 oder 11 instead of 10.5). |

Thanks for the tip!
