hello all,
I'm experiencing a rather head-splitting pain with my debian amd64
machine. The symptoms
are not severe, but annoy me to no end: running xscreensaver, or
video, or anything which is a bit heavy on graphics and audio is
always accompanied by 'hiccups' or 'lockups' or 'hangs' or I don't
know how to call them. I mean the graphics just freezes for a fraction
of a
second and then resumes. Also, running xscreensaver with anything but
the simpler programs will always result in a total system hang: the
infamous 'screen frozen, but mouse pointer moves' bug.
Right now I'm runnning the new etch release with a 2.6.18-4-amd64
kernel, but the problems were the same with unstable. I've tried all
possible settings of the AGP rate and driver using the nvidia driver,
and the open-sourced 'nv' driver, nothing seems to matter :(
I'm completely lost here. Really. :'(
anyone?
thanx,
Avishai.
