Thank you for your efforts in trying to fix this tpowa.

I tested the new driver and got a full hang (lockup) of my system when normally the NVidia splash screen would be displayed.

Hardware:
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NVCrush11 [GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics] (rev b1)
(integrated w/ NFORCE chipset)

Couldn't find any useful messages in the logs.

tpowa · 2004-11-22 15:39:51

you tested the 6629-1 package too ?
does it there also exist or only with the package in testing

thanks for your feedback

harald_u · 2004-11-22 17:12:31

I tested 6629-1 too and had similar problems.

Reverted to 6111-3. (I'm using kernel 2.6.9).

uberGeek · 2004-11-22 18:24:29

I used 6629-1 and -2, same results (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is required to recover in either case). Nothing of interest in xorg log file. I will try 6111-3 tonight, if I can find it.

Thank you all for the help.

tpowa · 2004-11-22 18:27:25

you can browse arch cvs for older pkgbuilds
the 2.6.9.patch can be found in Attic in cvs

I've also got an MX440, but is runs great , tnx

uberGeek · 2004-12-07 14:48:20

I can't get into Attic or any of the CVS (except with the web browser interface). I get a connection denied when I try to log in using:
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.archlinux.org:/home/cvs-arch
# touch ~/.cvspass
# cvs login

Works for me except when I try to switch to console

ctrl-alt-F2

or end my x-session. When I try to do either of those, the system hangs and I have to do hard reboot.
Nvidia claim that driver versions >=6111 fixed this console restore issue on the GF4 Ti4200 based cards, but apparently they are wrong. I'm stuck using the patched 4363 driver from minion.de
