Computer hangs at splash screen.

[meteoroid11]

Hello I am running Suse 9.1 and have installed the 6111 driver for my tnt2. I can install everything fine but when I run sax2 or startx the computer freezes up displaying the Nvidia splash screen. I was running the you kernel but since load up the default kernel that came with 9.1. I am going back to school this weekend and would like to get this problem fixed before then so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Figured out what was wroung. My x86config had the AGP set up incorectly.

Could you please share your solution, since I have similar problem X freezing with the NV logo.

Hardware:
Bequiet 400 W PSU
AMD 64 3500+
Asus A8V with lates bios from Asus
PNY Verto GF 6800 GT (with molex for extra power connected

Software:
FC 2 with 2.6.8-1.521 kernel
NVidia 6111 driver

Last message in the X.org.log states that X is loading extension NV_CONTROL or something like that. After that there is nothing. Also nothing remarkable in dmesg nor in messages.

After loading nvidia driver manually in runlevel 3 files in proc/drivers/nvidia/agp state that both card and host-bridge claim agp 8x and sba capability.

agp settings in xorg.conf seem to have no effect - though I haven't tried nvagp since agpgart has been compiled into the kernel.

This problem has some interesting points:

- My old GeForce 2 GTS works flawlessly with same software config incl. 3D
- The 6800 works "fine" with vesa driver

So this leaves me with a question: Am I missing something trivial or have I got faulty card?

It's starting to seem to me that the card is faulty. I umm... tried it with WIN2k... Just a (not so) nice colorful screen - of crap.

Luckily I still have my good ol' GF 2 GTS
