I understand but can't I relate this issue to the 2.6.34 kernel version? As I mentioned some e-mails ago, I can run without problem older versions like openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9 (what I found near).
Dunno, but I had nothing but trouble with 2.6.34. I am running 2.6.35 from kernel:/HEAD right now and I haven't had any issues. I didn't black-screen on boot with 2.6.34, but I had a lot of issues. 2.6.36beta is in kernel:/HEAD now. It would be worth giving it a shot. However, I had issues with the previous 2.6.36beta kernels as well.
If you are running an i586 box, I can make the 2.6.35 kernel available (I still have the rpms)
However, I don't think the kernel has anything to do with the ram timing/share video ram issue. (I could be wrong) Regardless, testing another kernel can't hurt....
Would be great if I can get access to the 6.35 kernel as I always prefer stable releases. As you say kernel may has nothing to do with ram sharing but can't yet find a reason why other versions (older in this case) work. In fact I'm seriously thinking in to install openSUSE 11.2 in parallel.
By the way, would you recommend me a way to upgrade my kernel? How can I get that 6.35 version?
Here is my saved 2.6.35-1 kernel rpms from kernel:/HEAD http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE_11.3/kernel/2.6.35/ it contains: kernel-debug-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-base-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-default-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.noarch.rpm kernel-pae-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-pae-base-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-pae-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6.35.1-1.1.noarch.rpm kernel-syms-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm kernel-xen-devel-2.6.35.1-1.1.i586.rpm The download will be a little slow. I only have 1/2 meg upstream connection. Just download the rpms to a directory and install with 'rpm -ivh *.rpm' That will *install* the new kernel without wiping out your existing kernel. You can also add the following as a repository and try the 2.6.36 kernel: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ Just do (this is one line -- using '\' continuations, just copy and paste into an xterm as root): zypper ar --keep-packages --refresh \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ \ kernel-head Then use yast or 'zypper up --repo kernel-head' to grab 2.6.36. **NOTE: If you use yast or zypper, then to prevent *upgrading* and wiping out your existing kernel, set the following option in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf: multiversion = kernel-default,kernel-pae Let us know how it goes... -- David C.
