I'm a gentoo user, recently I have: - installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.0.0 - restarted X - it hangs, black screen, no error in Xorg.log - checked for broken dependencies but no need to recompil anything - installed back x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.2.2.1 - everything returns to normal # lspci -s 01:00 -v: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Unknown device 8951 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16 Memory at de000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Expansion ROM at dfde0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0 Currently, another person has this bug too, here's the gentoo bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171921
Please try git master. Also, please attach Xorg.0.log and get a backtrace of the X server when it's hung.
Should be fixed by this commit: commit 16f51977d49e52079754b62f4a13754e56da1c9c Author: Aaron Plattner <aplattner@nvidia.com> Date: Mon Mar 19 12:00:36 2007 -0700 NVSync hangs in EnterVT, so don't call it there.
