You could either upgrade to driver v66.29, or use NVIDIA agp instead of GART. The later solved our stability problem lately. Luc. On Nov 9, 2004, at 6:29 AM, john_ozarchuk@goodyear.com wrote:

Hello,

I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 for AMD64, with the FX1100 driver version 1.0-6111 on 12 machines at my company.

The problem we have is that everytime users log out of the X environment, the entire thing crashes. The screen fills up with purple lines and fuzz. The only way to get out of this is to remotesh in and reboot, or to hit the Reset button on the machine. I have looked everywhere for people having these same problems, and nobody can seem to replicate this.

I am not using any TV Out options, just a standard monitor configuration. I installed the Nvidia driver successfully, with the step by step instructions that Nvidia provided. Has anyone else seen this issue? Here is a chunk of the /var/log/messages at the time of this graphics crash. Again, this is only occuring when a user logs out of X. Especially common when the "root" user logs out.

Thanks,

John
