GL-related X freezing
I've recently been having some problems with freezing in Quake3.
I have a nVidia GeForce2 MX card and I'm running Debian Unstable. My
motherboard is KT133-based and I'm running kernel version 2.4.9.
I don't know if the problem lies within XFree86, my nVidia binary
drivers, the programs themselves, or another random hardware issue. My
log files (/var/log/XFree86.0.log) don't contain anything out of the
ordinary.
X freezes a couple times every day playing Quake3. The screen freezes,
the sound cycles, and I lose control of my KB/mouse. I can usually fix
the problem by sshing into my machine and killing X/Q3. About 10
minutes ago, I decided to randomly fire up TuxRacer and I encountered
the same issue, leading me to believe the problems I have been
experiencing are not isolated to Q3.
How can I figure out what exactly is causing the problem? Any log files
I should look at? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
