I installed FBSD 5 on my Toshiba laptop a week ago. I've installed KDE 3.1
and I'm using the NVIDIA drivers with X. At, what seems to me like, totally
random times, the system locks up hard and needs to be switched off and on
again to work.
I know the Nvidia drivers doesn't support 5.0, but if I use the regular NV
drivers i get a 2cm wide black line on the right side of my screen... At
first I thought it had to be something with the GL drivers, but the lockups
happen at a different place each time. The only thing they seem to have in
common is that they happen when I exit an application. One time it was the
screensaver setup, yesterday it was Knode (the news reader) and earlier
today after it had been working great for 14 hours of doing nothing, it was
when i closed opera...
AFAIK it only happens in X. I'm don't really think anyone can help me with
this and suspect I just have to wait until new drivers arrive, but if
someone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Wether it means changing to
different drivers and dropping GL support or changing the current ones, as
long as it works, thats the most important part :) I've gotten everything
to work so if I can just get it stable and manage to make samba work
nicely, I can delete the winX partition.
