Subject: [gentoo-user] nouveau loads but freezes later, nvidia won't load
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 10:32:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi==G-U=V43r58+UJWxQJ0fo+4NXcVLBUV69wzh4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I've been using the nouveau video driver for a while, but lately video
has been freezing with X at 100% CPU and the only way out seems to be
ssh'ing in and rebooting. The issue seems to be the same as described
here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596330
Disabling acceleration with the kernel parameter nouveau.noaccel=1
works but video quality is terrible.
I tried to switch to the nvidia driver but X won't load and Xorg.0.log
says it can't find a CorePointer device. I remember having the
CorePointer problem with nvidia in the past but I can't remember how I
fixed it. Does anyone know how to fix either driver?
