4 Hi,
5
6 I have a MythTV frontend running Gentoo on an AMD 64bit with an Nvidia
7 6600 graphics card. I have had no end of problems with the graphics card
8 (Xid errors). It crashes with a white line across the screen regularly
9 when 3d goom is up when I'm playing music. I've so far been putting it
10 down to the nvidia driver but I'm beginning to think I may have a dodgy
11 stick of RAM or something as I also get Segmentation faults when doing
12 emerge's on occasion. When this happens it says its an OS error and
13 retrying the emerge normally fixes it. How can I find out what the
14 problem is? Is there a way of testing the RAM? Is it possible that it is
15 the nvidia drivers still (I am often playing music when I run an emerge)??
16
17 Any help much appreciated.

19 Cheers,
20 Dave.
