1 Hi,

3 I'm having a problem with my system locking up when gnome-session is
4 started. It isn't just X locking up, I can't even ping the box once
5 it's locked up.

7 My system is a DFI AK47-EC motherboard, with a Riva TNT2 video card. I
8 have a 950Mhz Athlon-Tbird CPU, with 768MB of RAM. The lockup happens
9 if I use the open source or propritary driver, via chainging
10 XF86Config-4 between Driver "nv" and Driver "nvidia" in the Device
11 section.

13 My compile flags are...

16 CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-tbird -march=athlon-tbird -mmmx -m3dnow
17 -mfpmath=387 -O2 -pipe"
18 CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

20 I've tried other gnome apps such as evolution, nautilus, and xchat 1.9.3
21 with AA fonts, and these all work. When I launch gnome-session I only
22 see the splash screen with no icons along the bottom when the pc locks
23 up. Does anybody know of a solution to this?
