Hello. I think this topic is partly OT because it's not directly |
2 |
gentoo-related but it might be amd64 related so... |

|

I've struggled for two weeks to have my gentoo-amd64 running various OpenGL |
5 |
games. Dome did run, other crashed in various ways: either a stuck computer, |
6 |
usually seeming related to a soud and/or I/O conflict, or sometimes simply a |
7 |
total reset. And it was the same thing with Gentoo (32/64), SuSE (32/64) and |
8 |
Debian/Mepis (32 bit) |
9 |
|
10 |
The setup was a Tyan k8w-s2875ANRF board and an AGP Gainward with an nvidia |
11 |
6600GT chip. |
12 |
|
13 |
In the end, I removed the card and pulled an Asus nvidia 5700 based graphic |
14 |
card out of another computer and see: everything's running fine - and I'd |
15 |
even say movement is smoother, despite the fact that the 6600GT is given as |
16 |
much faster. |
17 |
|
18 |
Now, I put the 6600GT in the other computer (a P4) and tested that computer |
19 |
(not with gentoo, actually with SuSE): no problem. |
20 |
|
21 |
So, I am wondering what causes the conflict: the board, the opterons, |
22 |
Gainward's card? |
23 |
Has anyone a 6600GT running fine ona double opteron? |
24 |

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a |
29 |
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the |
30 |
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
