updated to 100.14.11 Debian Etch - glxgears still freezes

pauljr · 07-27-07, 12:31 PM

Hi,

I recented posted that glxgears would freeze Debian when I would try to run it; It outputs a black window that I can't close and my Debian hangs. This was when I was running a previous version of the nVidia Linux driver which I was informed is not supported anymore.

I upgraded the nVidia drivers to 100.14.11 today as you can see in my nvidia-bug-report.log file. I am still experiencing this same problem with glxgears freezing Debian. Appriciate the help.

Thanks,

Paul J. R.

I have a few questions:
0) Does this problem persist with a more recent kernel?
1) Have you verified that you're using the latest motherboard BIOS?
2) Was the attached bug report generated during or immediately after experiencing the problem?

thanks,
Lonni

1. I'm running 2.6.18-4-486.
2. The bios is HP from 2007; It's very recent if not latest.
3. The bug report was from before the problem; I don't know how to telnet/ssh into my machine

Please verify everything that I requested in my last post.

Ok, sorry for not being more specific off the bat.

* I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.21.3 and the problem persists.

* I visited the HP website and there is no BIOS update for this version 5.02 released 11/30/06

* The nVidia bug report was created before the problem occurs; I can not input anything into Linux once the problem occurs
