some freezes and blinking pixels

tekman54000 · 11-25-06, 03:36 AM

Hi everybody,

I'm a french guy so, I'm sorry for the "bad" english. I write this topic because I ve several problems with my GeForce 7900 GO GTX under ubuntu edgy. I have even posted some thread on other forums but no one can help me...So we can say you're my last chance

. In fact, when I install the linux drivers (no compiling problems...), after rebooting/restarting the X server, I've some blinking pixels on my screen...and I don't know why...I precise this problem is only on ubuntu and not under Window$ so I think this isn t a card problem. After some times, generally between 3 or 5 minutes, the laptop becomes slower and slower and it freezes... so I don't know where to begin so, I hope that some of you can help me

Hi zander,

here are the 2 requested files. I can add my config on the post:

Laptop keynux with 2 GB of DDR2, Geforce 7900 GO GTX, intel core 2 duo 7400.
I hope you can help me

. I've add the idle=poll option on boot, and I've seen on a post that entering the command : modprobe nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" can help but it doesn't.

Thanks for your help

Have you verified that you're using the latest BIOS?

tekman54000 · 12-01-06, 02:45 PM

I have my notebook since 2 month, and the constructor doesn't provide new bios. so I don't know where to find them. I'll send them a mail monday to know if one is available. I've seen in another post, that the command: sudo modprobe nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" for 7950 GX2 can help to avoid this blinking pixels. But on my laptop it doesn't.

From your bug report, it looks like you're using a Clevo notebook. What is the actual brand/model?

tekman54000 · 12-01-06, 02:55 PM

yes it is, in fact it's the keynux brand derivated from the clevo brand. But I don't know which model from us correspond to my model. For info, i'm using a Keynux Ymax DX (www.keynux.com) if it(s can help you to find my problem

tekman54000 · 12-01-06, 03:06 PM

I've found this BIOS but I don't know if i can flash my bios with this one...http://www.pcw.fr/index.html?lang=fr...d=39041.500625 I think it's good, can you confirm my opinion?

netllama · 12-01-06, 03:11 PM

I'm afraid that I have no means of determining whether that SBIOS is appropriate for your system. You'll need to contact the vendor.

Thank,
Lonni

yes, but i've just seen that on the back of my laptop, the model M570U is printed
