Hi Rich, |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
My Gentoo runs on an ASUS Crosshair formula IV motherboard with |
| 31 |
an AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor. The motherboard?CPU is |
| 32 |
not overclocked. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The graphics cards are |
| 35 |
For rendering only (not related to the desktop) |
| 36 |
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1) |
| 37 |
02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fba (rev a1) |
| 38 |
For desktop purposes |
| 39 |
09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1) |
| 40 |
09:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) |
| 41 |
The kernel uses x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-361.16. |
| 42 |
I am using Alsa/jackd with the onboard soundcard. |
| 43 |
My monitor is an HP LP 2475w. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I am using the nvidia-drivers since years and the switch back and |
| 46 |
forth from and to the text console does well for years too. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
And today this damned trap strukcs me. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
How can I get around this? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Best regards, |
| 53 |
Meino |
