I use an TNT2 M64 and new driver only do the problem get worst :(
Now system crashs at diferente place mainly when I use vmware and after it i try t go to console I simple loose the keyboard input I get no chance to get it back system seems to stay working but keyboard goes off even Sys Req. does not work at all on that happens.
There are a few issues : - Using Ctrl-Alt-F1..6 to switch to virtual mconsole causes weird behaviour. This is a combo of kdm/nvidia (maybe other cards as well). This was solved by some setting in the Xservers file (iirc). I think KDE2.2.1 has solved this porblem (earlier versions probably did as well). This was discussed both here and on the KDE list. If you check the archives of suse-e you should find the detailed workaround. - VMware and older versions of KDE (KDE 2.0 series) caused X crashes for me .. since then I upgraded Xfree from 4.0.1 to Xf 4.0.* to 4.1.0 upgraded KDE2.0 using pretty much any beat upto 2.2.1 and upgraded my NVidia drivers from 0.6 to 0.9767 and the problem went away. I have no clue which of those changes did the trick. (I might even have upgraded vmware ) - TNT/TNT2 cards seem to be a bit less well supported with the latest drivers. Are you using the 1541 driver ? The changelog lists some TNT specific fixes compared to the 1521. But we have a TNT card here, and it indeed seemed to be less stable with 1.521 (but we had to switch back to 0.9769 due to the colorindexed texturing problem).
