Hy folks,
I am growing more and more desperate about graphic hardware issue.
Status:
Main board Elite Group K7A5S Pro (Bios version 01/21/2002) with AGP 4x support
CPU Athlon 2200+ XP
1 GB Ram
Monitor Xerox XL-755D
Vector 5.8 Standard
I tried an Asus N7600GS Silent on my box with nVidia Driver 100.14.11
The results are annoying. The Desktop freezes often, menus with right mouse click in 50 % are incomplete, Desktop icons invisible, Firefox sticks, Flight Gear running with scrambled screen, Google Earth crashes.
Presently I run a Fx5200 with (sub)optimal results (Flight gear running basically, Google Earth crashing when going to a location).
I tried the the Asus N7600GS especially for Linux compatibility as I am determined to run Flightgear and Google Earth on this box. But with every upgrade of hardware (first FX6200, now GS7600GS) things are going worse. Presently I am so far that I am thinking about a new Main Board of even a new box
Please, if somebody has this or an similar configuration running, please quote your setting of the card and xorg.conf
Every suggestion for root cause or troubleshooting or improvement is welcome
Happy computing,
Carsten
