...d nvidia 1.0-9631 binary driver. I have noticed that switching to console with ctrl-alt-f1 and then back to x with ctrl-alt-f7 locks up the system with a black screen more or less (sometimes the lockup is complete, sometimes the cursor moves and it is possible to switch back to console), A user on nvnews forums suggest that disabling sync to vblank is a valid workaround. Is this a compiz or a driver issue? Cheers.

What about the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard? It has 7 SATA ports, supports ECC memory, socket AM2, generally looks very attractive for my home storage server. Except that it, and the nvidia nForce 570-SLI it''s built on, don''t seem to be on the HCL. I''m hoping that''s just "yet", not reported yet. Anybody run Solaris on it? Or at least on any

...ds are going to find themselves between a rock and a hard place since nVidia is not yet formally supporting this version. The only real option, which imposes no 3D graphics and no compositing (eg. CompizFusion) is to use the beta version (173.08) of the nVidia driver referenced here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111460 Note that I could not get the patched versions of the current release driver for 2.6.25 kernels to work as is noted in other posts on NVNews. I have not yet figured out how to boot into 'init 5' successfully, as one needs to pass the '-ignoreABI&...

...ready to be output in correct order to the display. The current proprietary drivers from nVidia synchronise buffer updates to the retrace after each single half frame is drawn, which for the most part is not satisfactory. The symptoms of this are explained very well in this post -> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=95836 If I understand, the nouveau drivers currently use the standard vga crtc registers to detect video retrace, and this results in the same behaviour. According to specifications I have seen from AMD, at least one Radeon series has registers which tell which fie...

I''ve been trying for several days to get a xen dom0 booting as described on Boris Derzhavets blog. I have been able to boot Jeremy Fitzhardinge''s pv_ops kernel under xen, but my X server wouldn''t start so I''ve been trying to get Andrew Lyon''s rebased opensuse patches to work. I have asked for help in the freenode ##xen channel but they

...h posted a month or so back that is supposed to fix the issue.But games down to a crawl on 64-bit systems with 4GB ram or greater, and the patch simply doesn't work otherwise.Not even on a 32bit system with 2GB ram. Also some are suggesting that this may be a nvidia driver bug here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=127984 Although this may be an unrelated issue.

I have a new biostar motherboard with nvidia chipset. The lspci says MCP51 ethernet. The module was not detected although for FC4 installs it says it works. What is the network module name for the MCP51 driver so that I can try loading it manually. CentOS 4.2 Thanks, Jerry

I have a Centos 5.5 on an AMD 64 system (Athlon II x2 250). I caught up on updates today, including -- kernel 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 -- glibc 2.5-49.el5_5.5.i686 I have several guests that were working before the update, but now none of them will boot. With each attempt I get a message in /var/log/messages: -- kernel: qemu-kvm[xx]: segfault at 000000379fc0da11 rip 00002b9f2732283f rsp

I have found http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1630681 which is a similar error, but since I do not have BSD the solution does not apply to me (if it does, tell me how in linux ;)) Finally, I'll list some versions wine: 1.0-rc2 (but rc1 did the same) nvidia-drivers: 169.12 xorg-server: 1.4.0.90-r3 dutchy a...

...lp further with some testing, I'd be happy to do whatever I'm capable of. My video card is a Nvidia GTX560 using various Nvidia proprietary drivers: 285.05.09, 285.03, 280.13, as well as the standard ubuntu 11.04 Nvidia driver 270-something The thread on nvidia forum is here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=167959

Not strictly a CentOS issue, but users of the Nvidia drivers should be aware of this. See their announcement[1] for details. Users of the the manufacturer's driver, or the ELRepo kmod-nvidia driver[2] should update ASAP to the new version.

Hi all, my problem is probably common (I actually asked for help for a similar problem in the past), but I cannot find any solution.
