Hey Mark,

What technical information would you like me to post? I am not to good
with troubleshooting.

Driver Version is x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-302.17:0

If you're gonna be a Gentoo user you will develop more of those traits
over time.

That's the newest driver. As per Paul's suggestion you might try an older one.

Other than that post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well as
your current xorg log file, most like /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but it
might have a different name.

As the 6150 seems to be an on-board GPU only used in specific nvidia
laptop chipsets I have no idea about it's specs. As you say it's not
CUDA-based I'm suspicious about mixing CUDA & non-CUDA and getting
good results. You might query the nouveau driver guys to see if they
support it. The 8400 is probably well supported there and likely
someone will know if they support old & new NVidia chips running
together.

Also, if you can get it to crash and are still able to ssh in then I'd
look closely at the X11 log file and see if it says anything, as well
as dmesg, etc. Maybe you're up against a kernel bug or something. (You
didn't tell us much about your setup...) ;-)

HTH,

Hey Mark,

I have tried numerous drivers, from I think 275 up, skipping a couple of revisions. I end up with the same result when it comes to the 8400GS. I have also tried the nouveau driver with the same result. I have to disable the acceleration for it to work.

When I change the bios setting to use the PCIe it doesn't show the 6150 at all in lspci (I Think). I am using the same xorg.conf file that I use for my 8400, nothing about it has changed except for the addition of the suggestions of Paul. Even that change still have the 6150 still working.

I started using it as a headless server for awhile and playing around with CUDA, now I am back to using it as a desktop but more for XBMC connected to a TV.
