i currently have an msi gforce2 gts 64mbs and the nvidia-kernel(and glx) 3123
been using that for a while, and about 2 weeks ago, quake2 started crashing randomly(while using opengl-GLX), the sound just kept looping..thought it was just overheating so i got a fan etc etc and now since a few days, X just freezes after about 10 minutes, and quake2 freezes after 3 mins of playing(i tried both opengl-GLX and sdl-opengl in q2, just in case...same results, and dear god is sdl-opengl ugly:P
so i decided to try using xfree's nvidia drivers ("nv"), which, surprisingly enough(cough), stopped the X crashing.
thing is, a few of my things i use need glx, which xfree's nv cant handle, so i kinda need that...
im guessing its something wrong with the nvidia drivers, but except that, i have no idea
i also tried manually installing the drivers from nvidia's site, changed nothing at all
any suggestions? |

have you tried emerging an earlier (or later for that matter, 4193 or something, they're masked) version of the nvidia drivers?
Other than that, it sounds like something is overheating in your machine, or something is very badly configured. Try emerging nvclock and underclocking your card, and your CPU if your motherboard supports it.
Try running glxgears for a while, and see if that crashes under the nvidia drivers.
I honestly can't think of anything else without some more information! Could you post the relevant sections of your XF86Config file (naimly the module and the Device section for your geforce card) and the output of glxinfo may prove to be useful as well. |

well thats my XF86Config...sorry for the bad trimming i just woke up:P
for now i change the nvidia for "nv" cause its the only way to make it not freeze, but i took the following glxinfo while in "nvidia"(for...obvious reasons)

Well all that looks gravy. Except that some version numbers in glxinfo are different (kuzz i'm using the very latest drivers).
Try installing the very latest drivers by:
| Code: | chris root # export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
chris root # emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel |
And see if that helps your situation any. Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with your configuration...which just leaves your hardware  |

Yea, Thats true malakin.
To do that, configure your kernel to leave out AGPART support (in character or block devices I think  ), then set the NVAGP option in your XF86Config to 3. It's slower, but if the kernel's drivers causing problems, it's what your stuck with. |
