That driver is a closed source binary blob that noone here has a chance to debug. You can switch to the 'nv' driver and see if you still have the problem. The nv driver won't give you accelerated 3D, but for 2D it should work just fine. [...] > nvidia 4095984 12 - Live 0xf8f31000 [...] Please try to reproduce without the nvidia driver ever being loaded - just unloading it is *not* good enough, it needs to have never been loaded at all. As long as that (or any other binary-only module for that matter) has been loaded into the kernel for just a second it's impossible to say if that module or some other part of the kernel is the cause of the problem. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
