Graphics problem with GPL and Geforce

by Denn » Wed, 05 Apr 2000 04:00:00

Hi, I have this problem with GPL where I select 1024x768 for the
OpenGL settings. This gives me a little screen in the lefthand corner
of the screen. It seems that this is the normal 640x480 screen, only
displayed on a 1024x768 resolution (rest of the screen is black).
I'm using the 5.08 NVidia reference drivers, could that be the problem?
(I thought 5.12 is out, but couldn't find them yesterday).

Dennis.

version 5.08 are untested leaked drivers and are known to be very unstable.
Not really recommended with GPL.
You'll get better results with 3.68 or 3.77

I tried these both before (not with GPL), they crashed my system (w98se,
Athlon on K7M mobo), especially the 3.68 were bad. The 3.77 were better,
but never stable. The 5.08 are stable, but give me this prblem, grrr.

Thanks anyway,

Dennis.
