Additional info:

My machine is a Dell Precision 410. Dual P-II 450's. The video card in an Nvidia
TNT. Most of the system is stock redhat 7.3. The only major upgrade is the
installation of Ximian Gnome.

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-09-09 17:54:45 UTC

Are you using the nvidia binary only kernel modules?
Also for which modules are you using insmod -f ?

Comment 2 Cushing Whitney 2002-09-09 18:08:20 UTC

I am running the binary only modules. The RPMs installed were:

NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73smp
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960

I'm using -F for the i2c-piix4 module so that I can access the tempature sensors
in my machine. The operative line from my /etc/rc.local file is:

modprobe i2c-piix4 force_addr=0x6000

If this might be related, I can disable it.
