Pzatch Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Just for my curiosity have you updated the system? And if so what sources did you use? In the last 3 weeks my system has been giving me fits like that. If I started with a TOTALY new linux system(everything is reformatted no left over config files in /home) The Nvidia drivers(old and new) worked perfectly. As soon as KDE was updated it would get really unstable. And thats with just the MAIN updates as a source. No PLF or anything extra. Crash screens every few minutes. Root commands not working anymore. Loosing resolutions that I was able to use before. (Init no longer worked) And thats with every normall Mandrake kernel. All the same. My system is stable as a rock as long as I don't use the Nvidia driver with any updates to KDE or XF86. I've at least narowed it down to that. I'm just going to keep experimenting untill I find the packages that tank it. Untill then no Nvidia for my main Mandrake. No great loss to me, just time. I'd love to know what they changed and why. I'm not giving up yet. I'll find out who or what to blame for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsw Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks to all who have replied. It seems that my particular problem is a bit more severe than first believed. There seems to be another reason for the nvidia card failing. I have started a new link in hopes of tracking down the problem. thanks tsw http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
