Bug 16863 – OpenGL apps hard lock computer with gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 and nvidia drivers 1.0.3123

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Lance Lassetter 2003-03-04 20:52:33 UTC]

Somewhat of a similar problem.  Installed gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1, as
recommended in Portage, fired up glxgears, whole system locked up.

Also fired up a Quake2 coop game where I hosted and played as well.  This caused
hard lock of computer as well.

Reverting back to gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10, steady as a rock.

Would it be possible to remove 2.4.20 out of Portage stable, as when doing a
search, I see a lot of bugs with this kernel.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Fire up glxgears or host a Quake2 coop game as well as play in the game.
2.  Wait a few seconds to minutes.
3.  Computer hardlocks, have to force reboot.

Actual Results:  
Computer locks up, have to force reboot.

Expected Results:  
If a kernel is released as stable in Portage, should be robust and work well. 
i.e. Not ~x86

Have since reverted to 2.4.19 gentoo-sources until 2.4.20 is upgraded or 2.4.21
is released.

Tried 1.0.4191 yet ?

[Comment 2 Lance Lassetter 2003-03-16 15:35:09 UTC]

Yes, with 1.0.4191 and 2-D apps such as gnome-terminal, the display is rendered very slowly so using 1.0-3123 at the moment.

Have you tried with 1.0.4191 to add to the "Device" section:

---------------------------------------------------
Option          "RenderAccel"           "on"
---------------------------------------------------

well, without further information, nothing can be done. i have no issues with 1.0.4349 and 
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 (or r2). 
 
please reopen if you have more info.
