Can't get X to work (nVidia)
 

I'm having this problem since I bought my computer (October 2003). I can do everything, except if it's in X. I installed the nVidia-drivers (5336) and everything is configured.

I tried Redhat 9, Fedora, Debian and now I've installed Slackware (9.1). Every distribution reacted the same, X loads, you can work a couple of minutes and than everything crashes. I don't want to switch anymore. I'm staying with Slackware.

I would like to get X working properly. Some details about the crashes:
I can enter X (so it starts), Gnome starts, I can open everything, but after about a minute everything hangs. Sometimes I can still move the cursor, sometimes the computer reboots...

If it's possible that this is a hardware problem, are there tools to check that (I tried memtest86, there are no memory problems). I think it has something to do with the graphics card (because it only locks up X, console is ok).

You can find my config and logfiles at: http://bytewarrior.madoka.be/linux/
(without www). I kept the directory structure, so you should be able to find everything you need...

Since I bought this computer, I've been searching newsgroups, googling, etc for my problem. And I didn't find the solution. I'm willing to try every solution now (I'm getting desperate :cry: ).

This is my config:
AMD 2Ghz, 256MB RAM, 60GB HD
nForce2 chipset, Integrated GeForce4 GPU (AGP 8x), sound onboard

A clue??? Anybody???

This morning I switched the monitor (an AOC). I connected it with my other monitor (Philips), but it still crashes the same. So it's definitely not a monitor issue.

Damn, I want to get that computer working!!

There are two sets of nVidia drivers, the unified drivers and the nForce drivers,...

Which are you using???

I'm using both. The nforce-drivers to get the sound and the nvnet module, and the 5336-drivers for my Geforce.

I already tried downgrading the Geforce-drivers, but it never worked. X has never worked properly.
