Hi there, I have a strange problem with 9.2 (latest kernel) and the Nvidia proprietry drivers. My card is a MSI 256VTDR GForceFX5600. Everytime I switch to a fullscreen app that uses 1024x768 by default (i.e supertux/many sdl apps/ut2004) I get horrible screen corruptions, the games still plays but the screen is wavy and distorted and the app is unusable. This only occurs at 1024x768 in full screen apps. Does someone have experience with the same problem. I did not have this issue when using a stock kernel from kernel.org and I'm guessing it's somthing to do with the agpgart/agp-amd64 modules that are compiled into the suse kernels by default. (BTW I have tried default -smp and bigsmp(which does not have the agp modules in it) and bigsmp refuses to boot this machine as I don't think it's initrd has raid0/1 (md) included.... this should probably be fixed. Kind regards Joel W (System is opteron 248 /msi master2-far/2gb)
Are you sure it is the card or the drivers or any software instead of a bad setting for the monitor allowing it to be send scanrates higher than it can handle? B-) On Friday 21 January 2005 02:23 pm, Joel Wiramu Pauling wrote:
