Hi,
Disabling acceleration kills performance, so this is really the last
resort.
It also leads to minor graphics glitches (the frame borders around the
windows are sometimes not redrawn correctly), but I greatly prefer this
over editor windows without visible text ;-)
I might add that in Jeroens' case the problem occurred although he
uses only one single monitor, however with a higher number of
pixels. So maybe the problem is somehow related to a limited amount of
graphics memory.
Seems unlikely to me, your card seems to have 128 MB memory and Jeroen's
has even 256 if I read his report correctly.
I also doubt that the problem is about _physical_ memory. But maybe it
has something to do with the amount of memory that the graphics driver
allocates for doing its stuff (and just as a background information,
driver programming is almost as obscure to me as understanding women, so
I am probably completely wrong about this). My main point was just that
two monitors seem not to be a requirement for reproducing the bug.
2. the file /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf did not yet exist and had to
be created. I also ran update-initramfs -u to put the option into the
initrd (didnôt test whether it also works without that, though).
By default graphics drivers are not included in the initramfs, so that
should not be necessary.
This is interesting to know; thank you.
Best regards,
Jan
