Re: nvidia & suspend2

agp support is most likely being built as a module?

something like that as the nvidia driver uses its one
agp code.

regardless, i believe this is a known issue with the
new driver. i encourage you to flame the nvidia support
forums as they can actually get in and fix things
(being proprietry after all)

it sucks! but its what we have, and ati's offerings arent
much better.

Thanks, though I'm fine with the nvidia drivers. My problem is that they do not integrate seamlessly with suspend2/hibernate, at least not without some code modifications. I'm trying to copy a method of removing AGP support from the kernel so that the nvidia module can be suspended but menuconfig won't let me unselect that option.

Hi,
I have a desktop with athlon64 and nvidia 6600 gpu, and I installed the new nvidia driver 8174 without any problems using standard debian kernel images (2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 and 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8). 

Kind regards, Clemens

During an upgrade today I saw that the next version of the nvidia
drivers has been released. I'm also trying to get suspend2/hibernate
working. As there are issues with suspend2 and nvidia, I think I will
postpone upgrading until I know there is a working method with 8174-1.
My question is whether anyone has got this working (with 7676 or 8174)
and how.
Laptop - Compaq Presario R3000 with GeForce4 420 Go - 2.6.14 kernel

I read that AGP support needs to be disabled but "make menuconfig" will
not let me uncheck it and I don't understand the dependancies, something
to do with AGP_AMD64 I am guessing

TIA for any help or pointers,

Hugh
