Is this with desktop effects enabled or disabled? Can you reproduce the problem with another driver? Desktop effects are disabled. With desktop effects enabled, it's even worse! Which driver would you like me to try? This is the driver designed for the NVIDIA card... The 'nv' driver. Appears to be working with the nv driver. No flickering for the moment. Lubos, the nv driver works stable. Will you forward the bug to the NVIDIA team? Btw NVidia released new drivers today... Sounds like a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 429010 *** Nvidia did release new drivers, but those are not suitable for his (old) GeForce FX 5200 card. There does exist a newer 173.14.15 driver for his old card, but I think it only fixes the compatability with new kernels and X.org. (In reply to comment #8 from Rob Janssen) > Nvidia did release new drivers, but those are not suitable for his (old) > GeForce FX 5200 card. Oops. Then I'm sorry. In this case the reporter needs to complain directly to NVIDIA. SuSE/Novell can't help here with proprietary drivers. > There does exist a newer 173.14.15 driver for his old card, but I think it > only fixes the compatability with new kernels and X.org. Can't find this version on NVIDIA's website. Driver versions are usually announced here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 Driver can be downloaded here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.14.15/ ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.15/ Thanks for references. |
