Nvidia on Shuttle SN85G4V2, X hangs every other cold boot
Hi Everyone, I'm having problems with the 64bit Nvidia driver, Its nearly working but every other time I switch on the system X hangs with a black screen and I cant Kill X or get in over SSH to see whats going on. If I then Power off the system, there is some brief hard disk activity and the next time I boot, X starts up and runs perfectly. I'm sure this must be a simple fix, I'm guessing there is a failsafe parameter that is used following a poweroff without clean shut down. Either that or resource allocation is different following a poweroff without clean shut down. I've tried looking at the XFree86.log files and dmesg but cant see any clues. Has anyone seen this before? or can anyone tell me where I should be looking. The system is: Suse 9.1 for AMD_64 Shuttle SN85G4V2 with nvidia Nforce 3 chipset AMD 64 3000+ Nvidia FX5200 (by XFX) Maxtor 120Gb SATA Hope you can help. Ed
