Re: Gtk2 crashes X server hard with NVidia drivers

[Nick Soffe <nick soffe bioch ox ac uk>]

Hi Benjamin,
I'm using gtk2.0.2 under RH7.2 on two Athlon based  and one P111
machine all with nvidia cards. I am using the appropriate nvidia 2880
drivers on all 3 machines. I have tried the gtk-demo 'images' test and it
seems to work ok. The P3 has a TNT2 card and the athlons have GeForce2
cards. I have had no problems with the drivers so far. Hope this helps,
Nick Soffe.
