[arch-general] Segmentation fault in X after last upgrade

[Lars Tennstedt]

Hello,

it seems that the NVIDIA developers will only fix it if they have time 
to do it. I guess that the legacy driver does not have a high priority.

I tried the nouveau driver and it works on my old GeForce 3 even with 
compositing. It is a little bit slow but it does the job. Thanks for the 
hint.
But on my other computer the nouveau driver does not work with a GeForce 
7. It is weird. Two NVIDIA graphic cards and one needs the closed source 
driver and the another one the open source one.


Bye
Lars
