Pepse Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 For those familiar with my recent problem when I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from nVidia, I woke up this morning and I am 99.6% sure I know what the problem is. I am running an AMD chip. I remember when I first started running Linux 3 years ago there was some talk on this board about editing something somewhere to tell the OS that there is no Intel chip. I did a search for AMD and the searcher came back empty. I am sure enough that this is the problem because 6 months ago I downloaded a newer nVidia driver and had no major issues with it because then I was running an Intel chipped system. I await any reply. Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 AFAIK, the NVIDIA/AMD problem that existed is no longer an issue. I have an AMD chip and run an NVIDIA card and have never had any problems at all. Where is the thread that describes your issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 My post on that is listed here in Hardware under the heading "Things are crashing in KDE. Nvidia is the cause?". Altho I don't doubt that AMD's should be fine with Linux and nVidia, I think that maybe this will be the cause. After reading my other post maybe you will agree. I leave for work in an hour (time now is 1:05 PM CDT), but I will see if there is an answer before I go. Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepse Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Since it seems no one knows how to cure this problem, could someone tell me what I have to edit and what the line should read to tell the system what not to look for. IIRC, it would say something about "xxxx=no pentium" or something like that. It won't hurt to try. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogic-al Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Pepse, It's no longer a problem. The kernel guys took care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
