I have had no end of problems with the graphics card (Xid errors). It crashes with a white line across the screen regularly when 3d goom is up when I'm playing music. I've so far been putting it down to the nvidia driver but I'm beginning to think I may have a dodgy stick of RAM or something as I also get Segmentation faults when doing emerge's on occasion. When this happens it says its an OS error and retrying the emerge normally fixes it. How can I find out what the problem is? Is there a way of testing the RAM? Is it possible that it is the nvidia drivers still (I am often playing music when I run an emerge)?? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Dave. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFwIsex43ifHzpDVURAgXzAJ9gQ+Ne+k33n89kCrFMbs/ZiWCeqwCcDB11 BYBPIWGPEw5qvxxWSwe1Jf4= =o66z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
