since 4.0.3 i have not been able to get xinerema working correctly. just after x startup i get a hard freeze.
i have a matrox g450 and a tnt2. has anyone else seen this? the biggest discernable difference form a user perspective is that under 4.0.3 on x startup it looks as though the tnt2 is reinitialized (i get the bios looking readout of the card).
when we where only at 4.1 it wasnt so bad, but its starting to get a little annoying to think ill be stuck in 4.0.3 forever.

i have the same problem with 4.2.0. i have a geforce 2 mx and a cirrus logic 5434 pci. when i startx, it shows a garbled nvidia logo, and freezes. the only way to reboot it(short from powering it down) is ctrl-alt-delete, which reboots it. right now i just excluded the other card from my XF86Config-4, until i can figure something else out |

this is an issue with the nvidia drivers, which have various problems when using xinerama and another non nvidia graphic card... Try a search on linuxgames.com's archives. I've heard some people did find a workaround... _________________ mat |
