If you have the nvidia kernel module loaded, it should be available by |
| 8 |
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status |
| 9 |
(not exactly sure, i have the opensource driver activated as well, and |
| 10 |
then this file is not there). |
| 11 |
cat /etc/modules.d/nvidia |
| 12 |
will show you the contents of the nvidia kernel module configuration |
| 13 |
file. note that any changes made here need to be written to the |
| 14 |
confiuration file really used (/etc/modules.conf) with modules-update. |
| 15 |
The modules.d directory is used to make this configuration a bit more |
| 16 |
modular (no pun intended ;) |

FYI, i had exactly the same problems as you (X11 would go to 100% CPU |
| 19 |
and thus lock up the machine when alt-tabbing in gnome no matter what |
| 20 |
the load, i could only kill it via ssh) and also had to solve this |
| 21 |
problem by switching to nv, thereby losing dual-head. So you're not |
| 22 |
alone :) I also think there is a long thread in the gentoo forums |
| 23 |
dedicated to this topic (titled "x11 crashes" or "x11 uses 100%CPU" or |
| 24 |
something), but as far as I remember, there weren't any good solutions. |
| 25 |
Hopefully newer combinations of kernel/nvidia-kernel will solve this |
| 26 |
problem... |
