X locked up, but I could switch around to = different vty's and also ctrl-alt-bksp out of X. However, when I tried = to restart X my machine locked up entirely. I am wondering though if it is all the nvidia driver's fault - while my = machine has been stable through installation of the nvidia driver it is = now being screwy even after removal of the driver. It's basically = locking hard after about 5-10 minutes every time I use it, and sometimes = I cannot even log in. I guess I don't know what to think. -Will > -----Original Message----- > From: Munish Chopra [mailto:mchopra@engmail.uwaterloo.ca] > Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 5:57 PM > To: current@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: NVidia driver stability? >=20 >=20 > On 2003-07-12 14:46 +0000, Evan Dower wrote: > > After following all the instructions at=20 > > http://www.soulwax.net/nvidia/faq.shtml _very_ carefully=20 > and compiling=20 > > nvidia-driver WITH_FREEBSD_AGP, WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS, and with=20 > FORCE_AGP_RATE,=20 > > my system was dramatically slower and substantially _less_=20 > stable.
