Dang it! I've got my flakey BP6 motherboard working fairly reliably now under the Linux 2.4.17 kernel, except that occasionally when I'm doing graphic intensive stuff the X server will peg the CPU and stop responding. Killing the X server doesn't do anything. I'm suspecting interactions between the GeForce2 kernel drivers and the X server. Anyone got any experience with this? Sucks because I'm trying to build this big panoramic image, and as soon as I get two pasted side-by-side...

If it were me, I'd bet the Video RAM X-Windows thinks you have does not match the video card. Next options that matter: AGP mode speed, Sideband and Fast Writes.. and then it gets weird.. 16 bit depth buffers?
I'm using the X-Inside http://www.xig.com server
for my Matrox 2 head GL400, this made it incredibly fast and stable..
and I spent a day tweaking all of these (and more) options..
Quake III Arena ROCKS.. once I got it all right.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
