More nVidia woes...

daytooner · #1 2nd April 2010, 12:50 AM

I have an nVidia GE FX 5200.

Following various instructions posted here, I finally got the right kernel driver loaded - avoiding the "nouveau" driver.

But after a kernel update, I started getting this in the boot log:

Code:

Checking for module nvidia.ko: [60G[[0;32m  OK  [0;39m]


Enabling the nvidia-173xx driver: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: free(): invalid pointer: 0x008ce822 ***

Up until the last kernel update - that I just did - I could still get an X display started, and even had TwinView working with a monitor and TV in cloned mode. Now I can only use the console.

Xrandr seems to be useless: it doesn't recognize anything about my card. It only lists modes that I have explicitly entered into xorg.conf. And it only sees a default output, instead of the two CRTs and TV output that are there.

From F11 through F12, I have had some nVidia driver issue whenever a new update (or upgrade) came out.

FWIW: uname -a => Linux Porky 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 23 10:21:29 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any help greatly appreciated.

TIA
