Well, I sold out and installed the nvidia closed-source drivers.
tux racer sure runs nice, though.
Anyway, I've been experimenting with the pre-empt kernel patch, and I
get odd lockups.
Here's my question:
I know that kernel modules (and the nvidia drivers do load a module)
that aren't SMP-safe don't like the pre-empt patch, because of the way
it uses SMP code to impliment preemption. Anway, I wanted to know if
anyone else had been using the nvidia drivers with either an SMP system
or the pre-empt kernel.
Anybody tried this setup?
