You're not short of hardware eh!!<br>
Here's my vote..<br>
<span><br>
VOTE - Config-1 Testing Y<br>
</span>VOTE - Config-2 Testing Y but Optional<br>
My second is optional because I don't want to force you to waste your valuable time. I think there are few people who would try two different nVidia cards they might try two of the same cards perhaps. For most people two monitors is enough :)<br>
<br>
But first off I am interested in your experience with your nouveau setup.<br>
We had a mail on the cooker list from Blacky reporting issues with nouveau.<br>
Here are some snippets from that mail....<br>
I've also attached the log referred to.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
please read the log who it is attached<br>
the last lines let see where it is the hang in plasma/kde<br>
at the last lines i have play around with the systemsettings from kde on<br>
the workspace config like cube, wabbeling window and so on...<br>
and at there has hang, because the nouveau have give up<br>
and the KDE/plasma was iced !<br>
by the way, i cant install the nvidia drivers.. because there is also an problem.<br>
<br>
I have an GT 660 Ti<br>
<br>
<br>
I chased around on the web a bit and it seems others have seen this too so before you take down your nouveau setup could you try and reproduce the problem Blacky reported.<br>
Later in the mail he said he couldn't install the binary nVidia drivers it would be useful to have a little more feedback than that..<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your help.<br>
Best,<br>
Colin<br>
