Sure that your GeForce2 MX/M card is still ok? yep, as i said before with the 'nvidia' driver is OK, even compiz works, and can play games in windows (like need for speed underground 2)
Anyway, since nv driver doesn't work I suggest to switch to fbdev driver. we are on a forum or bugzilla?
==> sax2 -r -m 0=fbdev fbdev is slower then 'nv'

Something else worth trying might me to switch to a different resolution. Since we don't have any specs on this hardware and we so far have not been able to reproduce this here it's nearly impossible for us to fix. However we have notified NVIDIA about the problem.

We are on bugzilla. This is just a suggestion how to work around the problem for the time being. We are well aware that fbdev is slower. If it's not using shadowFB by default already you may want to enable it with: Option "ShadowFB" "1" in the device section of the config file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
