I am using the nvidia binary only driver and am encountering lockups. Why?
Add to the Device section of XF86Config-4 ‘Option “NoRenderAccel” “on”‘. Eg: Section “Device” Driver “nvidia” … Option “NoRenderAccel” “on” … EndSection gtk+2.0 triggers a bug in the hardware accelerated render code in the proprietary driver. Nvidia is aware of the problem and is supposedly working on a fix. 4.
