Dear all,
I'm not sure if this is a Nvidia drivers or SL issue. But I hope I can fi
nd
some help here.... I installed x86_64 SL5.4 and updated to SL5.5 on a
Lenovo Thinkstation D20. I tried different versions of graphic drivers
including the latest driver I can find on nvidia website for my Nvidia
Quadro NVS 290 video card. For every combination of kernel and graphic
driver, X server always freezes either during the startup or shortly afte
r
the start. No response of mouse or keyboard. Sometime the color of deskto
p
collapse. I have to do a hard restart by pressing the power button. This
won't happen when I turn the X off and use the text mode.... I tried to b
oot
with noapic or acpi=off as suggested by some linux users on other forum
s but
it doesn't work. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
