hello,
i ve tried all i can do
but whatever i do, if i use the driver "nvidia" it freeze my computer.
i m tired of doing hard reboots after tests
thanx if there is any suggestion
it's a fresh install of debian, i was using gentoo before...
i've tried installing the driver in different ways :
the debian one and with nvidia installer
same result
i 've also tried different versions of kernel...
the current one is 2.6.15 with preempt and regparms and 4k stacks
here my xorg.conf the only thing i change is : nv-> nvidia and it freezes
I too have the GeForce4 420 Go in a Toshiba T2100.
in the Readme file (you may need to get it from NVidia) there is a
section giving options. Try adding the line below - just below the:
Driver "nvidia"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
On my laptop then hardware reports the wrong settings to the driver -
which causes it to freeze.
