Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have been dealing with this problem for awhile now. I have two nVidia |
| 4 |
video cards, one is a PNY 8400 GS PCIe and the other is a 6150 LE built |
| 5 |
onto the board. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Problem is I want to use the nVidia driver with my 8400 GS but when I do |
| 8 |
try to use it, it will just lock up the entire computer. Sometime I can |
| 9 |
ssh in and sometimes I can't. I don't have compiz or anything like that. |
| 10 |
I am using the xfce compositor. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
While I do get to use the card for about 30 seconds to a minute, I can't |
| 13 |
open the nVidia X Server Settings panel, display panel nor anything that |
| 14 |
has to do with flash in chrome. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
A couple of the things that I have noticed about the Xorg Log is that |
| 17 |
the 8400 GS is reported as having 512mb or video memory when I know it |
| 18 |
is only 256. The 6150 is reported as having 256 and I am not sure how |
| 19 |
much that one is using. I have a feeling it is shared. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
When I am using the 6150 LE and I have the 8400 GS in also. The nVidia X |
| 22 |
Server Setting also says the same amounts of video memory. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I haven been using this install of Gentoo for years now. The only thing |
| 25 |
that has changed in that time that has to do with Video Cards is Cuda. I |
| 26 |
use to use it a little for experiments. All in all the 6150 doesn't |
| 27 |
support Cuda and the 8400 GS does. |
| 28 |

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. |
