strange problem geforce 2 Titanium + nvidia drivers

Post by cricqu » Tue, 19 Feb 2002 19:10:21



well i have kernel 2.4.9-21 on redhat 7.2, had to install the tarball cause
the source rpm from nvidia didn't work
anyway i compiled the driver without any problems, but when enabling the
nvidia driver sometimes after 5 minutes
sometimes after 1 day my screen goes bezerk, the only thing left is do push
the reset button. What you see
is almost the same as in windows when you boot and you change screens that
can't handle that resolution, but when
i use the driver supplied with the Xfree, the "nv" one, everything works
fine & stable.

I got a pentium III tualatin 1,1ghz, asus tusl2-c, 512 kingston ram, adaptec
u29160 controller, maxtor atlast 10KIII,
creative live player, creative geforce 1 titanium, intel 10/100 nic

anyone got any problems with this ? or had a similar problem ? perhaps it
could be cause redhat detects my card as a Geforce 2 GTS which is the model
it's based on. Here is a snapshot of my XF86Config-4 file

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load "fbdevhw"
        Load "pex5"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "pex5"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xie"
EndSection

......

Section "Device"
        # no known options
        Identifier   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
        Driver       "nv"
        VendorName   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
        BoardName     "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"

        #BusID
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier   "Screen0"
        Device       "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)"
        Monitor      "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth   16

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       16
                Modes       "1152x864"
        EndSubsection

EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666

also that section "DRI"
 shouldn't this be removed ????

Yes. Use the nvidia drivers with this chipset. AGP is proved for in the
drivers for this AGP chipset. GLX does not work with the nv driver at all
if you have installed the nvidia drivers.
