i've found disk with backup :) first thing - switching to console and back to X work fine. (it is broken in recent versions) then - it's lightning fast compared to recent version (scrolling windows, moving stuff around, etc) stuff displyaing and scrolling in console does not slow down whole computer (as it happens with recent drivers/Xorg) as result whole machine works significantly FASTER. glxgears display something. it is not updating smoothly, but there is ~100fps rating, and _something_ gets displayed. also, both 'heads' get proper ram amount detected, which is 8192k. in recent driver, just one head (first) gets proper amount detected, other gets just 2048 - no idea why (i was even afraid card got somehow damaged...) i'm on my way to test xv, but i somehow suspect it will also work fine. here log of old driver can be seen : http://83.18.229.190/Xorg/Xorg.0.log.old_one -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
