Do you have an ati card?

I get that sometimes when i don't have the ati's modules installed.. even if i don't use them.

kaydara · 04-09-2005, 07:09 AM

well i forgot i have Nvidia card, and lastests drivers installed, maybe i havent all modules loaded will check it :P

try to write
option "NvAgp" 0

in xorg.conf

or better read F section of readme nvidia drivers. (I'm not sure of syntax that command)

Does it happen when using a different window manager?

Possibly a monitor sync issue. I've had a similar issue and had to change horiz and vertical rates with xorgconfig.

i have the same issue with my quadrofx 3000
found posts at the nvidia site about freezing issuses
will post it when i get home
or search nvidias linux forum

Nad0xFF · 04-15-2005, 12:34 AM

Yes. I've seen it at NVIDIA forum too. I'd changed my xorg.conf file like there was writen, but this didn't help

I was getting some freezing too.

I found out it was Konqueror doing it.

Try using another file manager. Or just use another WM.

I like using KDE, so I installed ROX-Filer, no more luck ups.

Nad0xFF · 04-15-2005, 02:26 AM

I've read at nvidia forum, that this is some rendering problems. (On my pc freezing happened when I used firefox and konquerior). I swithed "rednreraccel" off , but now freezing happens when I watch mp4 movies. (And sometimes in other cases)

still testing, but i uninstalled artsd package
and havent any problems.
not sure why sound would have anything to do with this.
in the past xine.some games, would crash.
also si started back to a very basic xorg.conf

Code:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "My Monitor"
    HorizSync   31.5 - 70.0
    VertRefresh 40-100
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NVIDIA"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    Option      "AGPFastWrite" "True"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "False"
    Option      "nvagp" "true"
    #VideoRam    280000
    Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
    # twin-view
    Option "TwinView"
    Option "MetaModes"    "1024x768,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768"
    Option "HorizSync"    "30-100"
    Option "VertRefresh"  "50-150"
    
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "NVIDIA"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24

     Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes  "12800x1024"
    EndSubsection

EndSection

just a lil input to help

thanks

no lokups so far, just screwd up my sound for q3
but i havent had any screen freezes in 2 days now.

KMcD · 04-19-2005, 02:57 AM

I had a similar prob in Slack 10 and a kernel upgrade (or recompile) will fix it. (Personally I think a recompile would be better, just get linux-2.4.30 source and manually install). Other people experienced the same lock-ups and the upgrade sorted it for them too.

spooge · 04-19-2005, 07:19 PM

kmcd,
I do have a 2.4.29 compiled, and the freezes were with this kernel.
It never froze during game play, but with normal usage..

I've also tried swapping ram in/out ( evem though 4 512s are matched) no help
Played alot with Xorg.conf and tookout alot a settings.( video card is a quadroFX3000)

i made xorg.conf changes (and maybe should not of posted}
then artds pkg removal, and my problem left.
but the combo of changes stopped my freezes.

From what i read artsd is a kde component?
when i get home i'll post links to reading of what i found
of artsd oss kde.

new edit:
had flashing, and quake3 crashes
edited xorg

Option "NVAGP" "3"
think this one looks to use either agpgart, or not
thanks
