kungfooya Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Other than UT2004 crashing all the time, they are working for me. I couldn't even use the 6629 drivers, kde/X would crash nonstop with those. So far so good! Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightcrank Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 For the kde freeze: Open /usr/bin/startkde with your favorite text editor, go to the line that says: # the splashscreen and progress indicator ksplash --nodcop and comment it out (#). Good luck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i did what u said but it just shows no splash at all, which i assume is what i commented out, and now it just crashes after that. i can move the mouse but cant click on aything.

devries Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Than some other kde application is causing problem. Empty the .kde/Autostart folder :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I just installed the 7167 driver on Mandrake 10.1No problems to report yet........... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've installed 7167 on 10.2b3 with nop probles at all. Plus I am getting better overall performance running gl-117 over 6129 previously installed. So far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 The random X lockups appeared yesterday for me. It's seems that the only workaround for this is to set the RenderAccel option to "false". Other than that, we can wait for NVIDIA to release a fix or downgrade the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 set the RenderAccel option to "false" Yes, I had to do this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) This was posted in another thread, but I thought I should put it here as well. In addition to the RenderAccel option we are discussing, I had to patch the new 7167 driver to avoid problems (hard screen locks) when running khelpcenter. Specifically, I installed this: NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-7167-1233959.diff.txt http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47405 Edited March 19, 2005 by daniewicz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
