I have two nVidia video cards, one is a PNY 8400 GS PCIe and the other is a 6150 LE built onto the board. Problem is I want to use the nVidia driver with my 8400 GS but when I do try to use it, it will just lock up the entire computer. Sometime I can ssh in and sometimes I can't. I don't have compiz or anything like that. I am using the xfce compositor. While I do get to use the card for about 30 seconds to a minute, I can't open the nVidia X Server Settings panel, display panel nor anything that has to do with flash in chrome. A couple of the things that I have noticed about the Xorg Log is that the 8400 GS is reported as having 512mb or video memory when I know it is only 256. The 6150 is reported as having 256 and I am not sure how much that one is using. I have a feeling it is shared. When I am using the 6150 LE and I have the 8400 GS in also. The nVidia X Server Setting also says the same amounts of video memory. I haven been using this install of Gentoo for years now. The only thing that has changed in that time that has to do with Video Cards is Cuda. I use to use it a little for experiments. All in all the 6150 doesn't support Cuda and the 8400 GS does. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. -- Willie Matthews matthews.willie@gmail.com
