Subject:   Problem with nvidia drivers and current
Message-ID:  <3DF4F83D.8050807@pi.be>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
For some reason i can't get the nvidia drivers working with my system (had
them working under 4.7-STABLE, but they refuse to wrok with 5.0-RC). Last
synced with current this weekend, and nothing worthwile has been added last
time i checked.
Now the problem is that when I start x, everything seems normal, idesk &
waimea pop up, but as soon as i open an application (xchat, gaim, eterm,
...) the system locks up, requiring a hard reset. Works fine with the nv
driver, but opengl performance is a bit uhm... sub par.

Anyone able to give me a few ideas?

Here are a few things that might help:

This is all on a 1ghz athlon with a VIA 133a based motherboard (abit
kt7a-raid)

dmesg | grep nvidia:
    Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/nvidia.ko" at 0xc05f01a4.
    nvidia0: <GeForce2 MX/MX 400> mem 0xe0000000-0xe7ffffff,0xec000000-
    0xecffffff irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci1

dmesg | grep agp:
    agp0: <VIA 82C8363 (Apollo KT133A) host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe8000000-
    0xebffffff at device 0.0 on pci0

kernel has as much as possible removed (splash and all are removed).

make.conf:
    ...
    CPUTYPE=i686
    CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
    CXXFLAGS+= -fmemoize-lookups -fsave-memoized
    ...

and a part of my XF86Config:
    Section "Module"
            Load  "dbe"
            Load  "dri"
            Load  "extmod"
            Load  "glx"
            Load  "pex5"
            Load  "record"
            Load  "xie"
            Load  "xtrap"
            Load  "speedo"
            Load  "type1"
            Load  "freetype"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Card0"
            Driver      "nvidia"
            VendorName  "NVidia"
            BoardName   "GeForce2 MX/MX 400"
            BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection

I tried alot already (all things in a FAQ i found somewere, but it stays
unstable/unusable), any hints are welcome, as this REALLY anoying me.
