Well then, there's little more I can suggest, maybe others. I assume |
9 |
you rebuild your nvidia drivers after every kernel upgrade, right? (If |
10 |
you've done the other, probably so, but never hurts to be sure.) Have you |
11 |
tried reverting to an earlier kernel, say 2.6.18.whatever rather than |
12 |
2.6.19, or even the 2.6.16 series (which continues to be maintained and |
13 |
updated for security fixes and the like)? There are known |
14 |
incompatibilities between some of the later xorg versions and certain |
15 |
nvidia drivers, but I'm afraid I don't keep up on what works with what. |
16 |
Others running the drivers should at minimum be able to confirm known |
17 |
working combinations of xorg/kernel/nvidia, and of course the version(s) |
18 |
of gcc used to compile them, and possibly glibc and linux-headers as well. |
19 |
(FWIW, I've had issues with glibc-2.5, but they shouldn't be related to any |
20 |
of this, but glibc is such a basic system library it's always a |
21 |
possibility.) |

Good luck. Despite my disagreement with slaveryware software choices, |
24 |
it's distressing to me when I see someone with a problem with something as |
25 |
essential as video drivers, and I can't do anything to help. When my |
26 |
system isn't working correctly, something's just not right in my world, |
27 |
and I seriously empathize with anyone in the same situation, regardless of |
28 |
what they choose to run (even MSWormOS, tho I don't get involved with that |
29 |
much anymore as my knowledge on the subject, at W98 vintage, is getting |
30 |
very dated). |
