Today I tried it by emerging nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3 and |
| 38 |
nvidia-glx-1.0.8178, |
| 39 |
having gentoo-kernel 2.6.14-r5 running. Loading the kernel-module with |
| 40 |
modprobe |
| 41 |
works fine. Than I tuned my xorg.conf to use the nvidia-glx module, now |
| 42 |
my xorg.conf |
| 43 |
looks like this: |

Starting up xorg just with 'startx' works fine.. xfce4 comes up. But |
| 157 |
lateron it hangs with nearly 100 percent of cpu-time usage, |
| 158 |
especially if I use the webbrowser firefox. |
| 159 |
|
| 160 |
I don't know what's wrong. Any more hints on that? |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
thx, |
