heres mine : I need to run vmWare and some windows apps under wine. If not by that, id have bought a Ti Powerbook already (to run linux, amazingly - I don't quite like OSx - nothing wrong with it, just a matter of personal taste)
well, the fakt that the nvidia drivers have a kernel-module portion would explain that true-crash (not only console crash).
I suspect your crashes are AGP-related (the kernel module deals with AGP, which is a clue). I have a driver/card combo to work flawlessly on the ASUS a7v266e mobo (yay, Q3 and shit run perfectly, fast writes and all that shit enabled) and suck my nuts on a cheap-ass soyo. Same thing for a TNT2 and a GF4ti, so no card issue.
The lesson I learned is, if your mobo r0x, use nvidia's internal agp support for awesome performance. If it sucks, stick to the kernel's agpgart.o for a bit less performance but improved reliability (hell, even go to AGP2x or 1x if it still quirks, disable fast writes and stuff, and NEVER forget the mem=nopentium boot parameter)
x86 nvidia drivers are a pity if you need OpenGL. go try play q3 with that... sucks ass. Give Nvidia's drivers a chance.
> people rag on windows for needing a reboot when you install new hardware. no-one ever complained that you have to recompile your whole kernel with the new hardware support until now.
oh fuck off... what kind of hardware can you install without rebooting on a PC? thats right, only USB/firewire/whateveralike devices. Can you hotswap HDs, CPUs, PCI cards (yeah I know there is PCI hotplug now, but not in the real world - and linux supports PCI hotplug), AGP cards or whatever shit on ordinary PCs? I think not, hotswapping is for big iron.
So basically, installing new *non hotswappable* hardware makes you reboot, be it windoze, linux or whatever fuck.
What ppl rag about is having to reboot the fucking windoze every time you install a shitty piece of SOFTWARE!!! Changed a DLL? reboot. Changed some registries? reboot. Changed a driver? reboot. Fuck it, it sucks, and under linux you NEVER have to do that. For example, on my shitty laptop I just hotswap network (pcmcia, ofcourse) cards and everything is fine and dandy. it just rmmods the old driver and modprobes the new one. no reboot, no downtime, no stress. Same for every fucking hotswappable shit like USB or firewire. Try that on 9x/ME or NT... LOL. 2k/XP works, I must admit, unless some DLL/registry gets changed... then reboot.
About the recompiling kernel thing, freaks like me even find it amusing, and avg joes does not need that if they stick to stock kernels, which usually have everything modularized, in a way you can mess around with your hardware anyway you like without pain. Ofcourse the performance of stock kernels sucks ass compared to a custom built, but everyone is happy. In windoze you are basically locked.
when I upgraded my game box from 98 to 2k, I spent whole 2 days researching/tweaking it so it would not suck so hard. Needed to get a pci register editing thing for the aureal vortex2 card to work properly, had to get another thing (registry tweak thing) to make opengl/directx work with a refresh rate other than the pathetic default of 60hz, and I am still seeking some way to make the (man this is unbelievable) *Microsoft* SW FFpro joystick to give me force feedback instead of acting like a $5 joystick.
Took like 1 hour to compile/install NVdriver on lunix (yeah it dualboots). Even twinview is working *flawlessly* so I can watch pirated divx on the TV. Quake3Arena runs much better on it than most games on win2k...
nice 2d is cool, but I can give a rat's ass about matrox cards these days. 3d is what matters, yay! nvidia's 2d is quite decent unless you want some insane resolution.
you weirdo... I want all the freebies I can get my hands onto. All the savings I do in software, music and movies help me buy top-notch hardware to enjoy them.
why pay for that stuff if there are millions of americans that pay for that? i'll just rip, thank you.
yeah their hardware rocks shit. cheap and good, like we all like. Shitty software mostly, tough. thats what happens when you put marketdroids as managers above the software engineers in the productive chain.
by reading all the shit ya posted here (even as AC, its sooo obvious that its you - karma whore)...
one question:
do ya really think that kind of cocksucking will get you a job at MicroShit? The guys there are of a different league than yours (I know/knew some). Just stop cocksucking BillG, there's nothing for you there, unless you want to work as janitor or something. try to earn some money in another way. Or kill yerself, I don't care.
for that price, id better have a very nice Katana replica. Much more cool than a stupid lightsaber, and I can *actually* kill someone with it. Impresses the chicks too (have some here;-)
And you think it is a good thing? LOL. I can imagine a server going down because noone clicked on the damn 10.000 pop-ups that appeared. Oh wait, lets stick to the real world where noone lets win servers access the internet (spyware/backdoors) or where win servers stay up more than a few weeks...
For stupid pc users it could be a good thing, tough, but M$ patches will prolly fuckup the other software the poor bastard has installed...

which is good riddance. doze is worse than a smelly turd on severs anyway.
i can't see my karma anymore!
it says "karma: bad"
LOL
poor karma whores...
cheers!
imense ability of first posting == too much time reloading the /. fp at work
been there, done that.
any job offerings at yer site atm?
cheers.
everybody complains that virtualpc is slow as hell... is it useful? I need to run cross-compilers that only exists for windows.

I suggest you review yer thoughts, troll fella.
cheers.
what a shitty boat, dude... buy a 50-feet technomarine like mine. r0x.

wrong... Big Ass Spork did it long ago.
heh
> and only be able to buy gas from approved vendors at a dollar a gallon premium.
better analogy:
and only buy gas from approved vendors at a dollar a gallon of rat's piss.
hey!
die.
cheers.

Nice flamewar, tough.

and I take my car against your car any day
cheers.
damn fucking sunday!

it is called seppuku, or harakiri, you stupe.
please die. fucking americans.
w00t!
cheers.
now back to work.
oh, a humble karma whore that won't use the bonus...
sorry for that insult, i'm replacing it.
still a bitch tough. tsc.
you are right. but he's also right, it looks like shit, or like my home network setup ;-)
cheers.
You don't have 50 karma, you lying fucktard.
Your posts are rated 1, not 2. You have less than 25 karma.
bitch.
