I think this topic is partly OT because it's not directly gentoo-related but it might be amd64 related so... I've struggled for two weeks to have my gentoo-amd64 running various OpenGL games. Dome did run, other crashed in various ways: either a stuck computer, usually seeming related to a soud and/or I/O conflict, or sometimes simply a total reset. And it was the same thing with Gentoo (32/64), SuSE (32/64) and Debian/Mepis (32 bit) The setup was a Tyan k8w-s2875ANRF board and an AGP Gainward with an nvidia 6600GT chip. In the end, I removed the card and pulled an Asus nvidia 5700 based graphic card out of another computer and see: everything's running fine - and I'd even say movement is smoother, despite the fact that the 6600GT is given as much faster. Now, I put the 6600GT in the other computer (a P4) and tested that computer (not with gentoo, actually with SuSE): no problem. So, I am wondering what causes the conflict: the board, the opterons, Gainward's card? Has anyone a 6600GT running fine ona double opteron? Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
