Can any NVidia Riva TNT2Pro owners help him out? I guess the first thing to do would be to make sure he doesn't have the dreaded Xsession bug. ----- Forwarded message from Jan Finjord <jan@trantor.ux.his.no> ----- From: Jan Finjord <jan@trantor.ux.his.no> To: branden@debian.org Cc: finjord@ux.his.no Subject: Nvidia Riva TNT2Pro, with XFree86 v. 4.1.0 Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 10:07:05 +0200 Message-ID: <3BCD3C29.A658E147@trantor.ux.his.no> Hello, I have an Nvidia Riva TNT2Pro card on my PC. It worked under the debian "potato" distribution, XFree86 version 3.3.6. According to the data for the 4.1.0 distribution it should work as well or better with that one. So I felt confident to upgrade to "woody" even if that distribution is still under testing. Well, the card doesn't seem to become recognized with the XF86_XFree86 server, version 4.1.0-7, which if I understand the documentation correctly should replace everything like XF86_SVGA version 3.3.6-38, etc. With the latter one (as well as xserver-common-v3) installed it does fire up with the old XFree86Config although so far the display and all consoles hang so that a reboot is needed. I hope you might just briefly indicate to me whether I should bet on getting the card alive with the XF86_XFree86 server, and possibly how. Or whether I should rather keep XF86_SVGA version 3.3.6. Best regards, Jan Finjord Stavanger, Norway ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
