I have been struggling to get X to work with the nvidia driver. The video card is an EVGA 256-A8-N341-LX GeForce 6200 AGP. I thought things were odd when I could not get LinHES to install unless using vesa drivers. After I got it installed I installed the nvdia drivers and tried to get a basic X config working. When I boot the system does not respond so I start with nologin and remove the xorg.conf then reboot again. This at least allows the system to boot.

When I copy a new xorg.conf that uses the nvdia driver I get the following dump.
Code:

I have been fighting this thing off and on for months. I disabled Hyper-Threading and it works flawlessly. In the process of trying to get this working I did install the latest version of the nvidia drivers but that did not make any difference. Once I turned off Intel Hyper-Threading though X started up using the nvidia driver flawlessly.

Wish I would have tried that much sooner. Would have probably made installing much easier too.
