James.. was that the machine which normally drew a blank when running report-video where the driver is listed? Is this straight from boot to desktop or did you run xorgwizard?

I've tried to eliminate the "lie" that sometimes "vesa" is reported without actually breaking the truth when vesa is actually the driver. Also tried to eliminate any "driver not found" or whatever messages but it is still a fall back.

Also, I can't recall if that slickpet hanging issue is fixed for you when running the video test, hopefully it is.

Just attempted to install the nvidia-96.43.20-k3.1.10-slacko_4gx3-s driver on the Athlon XP install. Rebooted still using nouveau driver.... attempting to switch to the Nvidia driver resulted in being unable to start X. Deleted savefile and restarted fresh...... again.

All seems well for PAE testing. Ran into a PPM issue and have PM to you on it.

Thanks

Hi Mick,

I had the same problem as reported above using an existing save file that had a recent NVIDIA driver version 290.10. I was able to manually select nv to get it to work, however, reinstalling the NVIDIA driver contaminated the background images so I discarded the old save file and created a new one.

Installing the new NVIDIA Driver Version 295.20 was successful with the new save file. Everything appears to be working fine.

Cheers,
Jim

hm, just a thought!

I'm wondering how much is actually different between a pae and non-pae build and if part of the install could test and install the correct files.

Something, I think, to put into your 5.3.4 todo anyway.

downloading now....

As I reported earlier with the previous release, Gparted errored out again while attempting to reformat a partition.... leaving the partion as "unknown". Prior occurance was on the P4 test box, this time was on the Athlon XP box.Went ahead and formatted with Exprimo both times with no problem.
Evidently it's only happening here but thought I'd report it.

Otherwise though,looking pretty good.
