[OpenIndiana-discuss] nVIDIA again

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

Hello,

Some weeks ago I reported my problems with the nVIDIA driver.

Sometimes when I booted my system, the screen got black and nothing 

happened. Then I had to reset the system. Here is what /var/adm/messages 

reported just before the manual reboot:


Sep 27 15:38:42 adalind nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:01:00: GPU-88af19ba-ec73-7f91-09dd-448d8abf45ce

According to 

https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/xid-errors/

the error message 56 is a Display Engine error. This means that it is either a hardware error or a driver error.

I replaced the GeForce GT-730 by MSI with a GT-730 from Gigabyte, which I bought last year, and now the system
is stable. No X server crashes and no black screens, So it was a hardware problem. I was not very fond of MSI
products but now I will never buy anything else from MSI.
