Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2009 8:31 am Post subject: PBM: >nvidia-drivers-173.14.20 make my computer freeze

Hi all.

A couple of months ago I noticed recent nvidia-drivers made my computer hang, i.e. it starts then the screen turns black but forever. The monitor shows "No video output" and goes energy saving. I had to use nvidia-drivers-173.14.20 otherwise the problem arises systematically.

I thought the problem went away so I tried nvidia-drivers-185* (185.18.31) and the problem is still there so I'm still have to use version 173.14.20. I fear someday the old driver goes off portage. However I'd like to know what could cause that issue.

Has anyone got a clue?

I have a Core2Duo and a GeForce 8800 GT. My xorg configuration:

Code:

Here the video card seems completely initialized but in fact there's no output.

You might also want to point the "error" message about dri but I have that error message with nvidia-drivers-173 too and it doesn't seem to hurt.

With 180* it hangs at "Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so". Don't know what to conclude from that

.

Thanks in advance for any hint/suggestion.

start to froze for me too when i use newer drivers + x86pat instead of old MTRR. (the bad deal is that description just say XPAT is a better MTRR, well, in my case it's worst) Check that, might be also your case: cat /usr/src/linux/.config \| grep X86_PAT and try set it to n

Check that, might be also your case:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep X86_PAT

and try set it to n

Code:

# CONFIG_X86_PAT is not set
