Installed the 2.5.67 dev kernel, and had no problems with the first session I ran, until I logged out (was using kde at the time, but also happens in Fluxbox) and the system froze. Needed a hard re-boot. It did this a number more times, and I posted a query on the Gentoo forums, where some others were having the same problem. They had solved the problem by using the nv driver. I wanted to see why the nvidia 4349 drivers were causing this problem. My system is using xfree 4.3.0-r1. Anyway, just by stuffing around and looking through a number of other posts to see if I could find a solution, I removed the file libGLcore.a from (I think) /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib directory, and the system has not crashed with that file removed. I checked this about five times, after having run a movie in mplayer, logged out, no probs. Put the file back into the directory, and it starts crashing again. Take it out, no more probs so far. Hope this is not a silly bug report, my first one I have done. Greg
could you please try xfree -r2 maybe same issue as in bug #16863
Its being discussed on lkml ... Ill have a look if they got a solution when I get to work tomorrow ....
And? Does xfree-4.3.0-r2 or nvidia drivers 1.0.4363 fix this ?
I can confirm that all is o.k. now. I upgraded to the 2.5.68 kernel, and it got worse. Would lock up all over the place, giving me segementation faults on log out, before locking. Emerging the latest xfree did not solve the problem. I re-compiled the kernel without agpgart support, and used the nvidia agp instead. Since them no problems what so ever. If it helps you guys work this out, my system is as follows: Albatron PX845PE m/board. (Intel 845 chipset) ASUS v9280 Ti4200 g/card. (agp 4x) Corsair XMS3200 ram. thanks Greg
