GeForce 4MX integrated - openGL configuration issues

[jyrgen]

Hello all,

i have an integrated geforce 4 MX on my board, which causes
headaches when trying to run OpenGL apps (games).
Most of them just show a black screen, and let gdm freeze.
(ubuntu feisty 7.04). i have to kill the app manually.

I have installed the 9631 driver and tried several device settings in
xorg.conf.

I don't get any further on this, please see the attached files.

thanks, jyrgen

ps: maybe a better choice to buy a "real" card ?

The current legacy graphics driver release for your GPU is 1.0-9639; please check if the problem persists with this driver. Please also check if disabling AGP solves the problem (see ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...ppendix-f.html).

Hello,

i have installed 96.39:

sudo cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module 1.0-9639 Mon Apr 16 20:20:06 PDT 2007
GCC version: gcc-Version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)

but the problem remains exactly the same.

please find a screenshot of billardGL for example.

other (fullscreen or windowed) games turn black and freeze gdm
as before. In openGL text items are never being rendered...

i also set
Option "NvAGP" "0"
without success.

thanks very much !

i'm getting the feeling that this must be a hardware failure.

another game (gltron) was terminated because of
missing memory. j

[jyrgen]

do you have any other idea ??
thx, J
