I have had the same problem as stated above but I have the AGP Riva TNT2 Ultra Card (Yes it is old and it work under windows). I am using 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel and the latest nvidia drivers (both kernel and glx). I run KDE and it become compleatly unusable. Any hints as to what causes this (Gnome vs KDE)? The Gnome looks better then what I get. The X server responds to Alt+Ctl+Bsp which is good because I would not be able to shut it down with the mouse. My layout and config is essentially the same as the description. Hope a solution comes around. I did read that not having ACPI compiled into the kernel would help and I am trying that now. I reinstalled and everything works. Maybe some version upgrades fixed the problem. Maybe it was a xorg.conf issue. Maybe it was ACPI. Whatever it was, it looks like the problem isn't widspread. I'm going to go ahead and mark the bug worksforme. |
