[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#443674: two more data points

[Craig Sanders]

and two more data points i forgot to mention in my last message.

i have two other machines here, also with nvidia cards.

1.  "hex" is an ancient amd-2000 with an nv geforce 6200.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)

it has been running without error & without reboot for the last week
on kernel 2.6.22.6, with nvidia-kernel driver 100.14.11 and nvidia-glx
100.14.11

i decided to reboot it today with kernel 2.6.22.9 and nvidia 100.14.19.  it
has been working fine for about 8.5 hours so far.



2. "kali" is an amd64 with an nv geforce fx 5200

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)

kali never got upgraded to 2.6.22.6 & nv 100.14.11 because of the problems
i had with my main machine.

however, i installed a new kernel and rebooted it earlier today with
2.6.20.20 and nvidia 100.14.19. no problems at all (just over 9 hours).




so far, the common factor in crashing machines seems to be the nvidia
7300 GS chipset combined with nvidia drivers 100.14.11 or 100.14.19.

"The fundamentalists deny that evolution has taken place; they deny that
 the earth and the universe as a whole are more than a few thousand years
 old, and so on. There is ample scientific evidence that the fundamentalists
 are wrong in these matters, and that their notions of cosmogony have about
 as much basis in fact as the Tooth Fairy has."
