I have the latest drivers from Nvidia and from what I can tell there's nothing wrong with my 3D settings (it is enabled and working). This has happend in many different distros and I don't know what's causing it. When I shut down my OS there's stripes of different colors over the whole screen. I think it appears when the OS is closing/shutting down the X-enviroment. If any of you'd have a tip or knows how to fix this, please let me know :) /Dan

You have a NVidia MX400 or MX440 card and you are trying to use the 5336 driver on an Athlon XP system, right? If you press CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 you will also get the same "screen of multi-colours", right? Four ways of tackling this: (1) don't use CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6; (2) ignore the multi-stripped-coloured screen on shutdown; (3) go back to the nv driver setting in XF86config file (alter "nvidia" back to "nv"); or (4) get the FX5200 (or higher) video card. If none of the conditions in my para. 1 apply then we go back to the drawing board :-). Cheers. -- I am not young enough to know everything.
Well i have had this problem on and off for some time now it comes and goes with versions of the nvidia driver Currently i have it running Suse 9.0 Athlon 2700+ 512Mb ram ASrock MoBo 520card with 128 Mb Ram i got stripes big time go back two versions of the driver i got no stripes with the same setup but other bits play up like Flight Gear and Racer you pays your money and takes your chances right now it seems ..

Don't be so pessimistic and affirmative. I'd the same problem with GeForce MX440 and FX5900 from MSI. Perhaps due to the Bios tells Nvidia !!!??? The problem is known by Nvidia and will be solved (I hope) in a future release. While waiting don't come back to nv or blackboard. BUT use the former 4620 release from Nvidia, with it there is no framebuffer problem. In order to see how we solved the problem visit : http://www.nvnews.net -> forum -> Linux and nvidia graphics. If the 4620 release is no longer available on the nvidia site : http://www.nvidia.com you can get it for kernet 2.4 or kernel 2.6 at : http://www.minion.de Good luck and ready to help you again. Michel.

I didn't see If there are still any good PCI cards w/ Nvidia chips on em... I have wto "emachines" in one of my nets, they don't have agp graphics slots avaible... i.e. there aint any agp on the mobo.. (sigh) other than that they are pretty spiffly little boxen for *average user* pretty big HD, gig procs, ( how fast do you need for opening a *word* type doc anyway...) they even do ,via scriabus, mag layouts, and checks of same.. so a nice nvidia pci card would help.... I have so far had suggestions from Matrox, and ATI... do I have an nvidia choice? BTW so far anyway every box here is Suse 9.0 waiting for my delivery of Suse 9.1 ( Monday... I'm guessing, since I have been told it shipped . "Brown" does nothing for me.. I prefer Fedex even for ground shipments, but.... you gotta take what the budget will allow, and apparently Ground fedex , or even USPS wasn't an option.. Still, any suggestions from Knowing folks for a PCI reasonabley up to date, 3-d capable cards for the emachines would help me a lot... TIA, -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : Don't ask me, I only work here. Tree seedlings = forestry children
