Hi, This is a general rehash of a problem that I've been having with my Dell Latitude D830 with an nVidia Quadro NVS 140M internal graphics card. I've been using the XOrg's "vesa" driver ever since something in the code rendered the "nvidia" driver inoperable in 7-STABLE sometime mid last year. With nVidia's new 195.22 (BETA) drivers, I had hoped that I could bypass the problem. Unfortunately, I seem to be experiencing the same problem as described in the following thread: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142391 which appears to be implying that something in the kernel is interfering with memory allocation. Would it be possible for someone with deeper kernel-fu be able to take a look at this issue? Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
