The +release highlights say, "Fixed a bug that caused freezes and crashes +when resizing windows in KDE 4 with desktop effects enabled using X.Org +X server version 1.10 or later." An uninformed person like me could +stretch that description to be possibly related to the problem I see +with the 173 driver, so perhaps the problem has already been solved. + +The site also says that both of my cards are supported by this driver, +so that clears up one nagging question that I had, namely if the driver +could be tested without switching back and forth between cards. I only +have two computers, and disrupting things too much for testing the one +my brother uses when his problem has been eliminated by other means +would only serve to annoy my brother. + +The computer I use also uses the 6200OC card, the same model in fact +that now resides within my brother's computer. So, I suppose I could, in +what there is of my spare time, create another Mageia install (I almost +think it would be easier for me to use Mageia 1), download the updated +driver from nvidia, figure out how to install it (I always used the +proprietary drivers available from the distro before), and try a test. + +Or maybe it would be better if I filed a bug report/package request for +the update and participate in testing along with whoever else might wish +to do so. + +TJ + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006299.html">[Mageia-discuss] Glitch with nvidia FX 5500 card driver +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006301.html">[Mageia-discuss] Glitch with nvidia FX 5500 card driver +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6300">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6300">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6300">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6300">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
