Hello all. I have Xgl up and running on my SUSE 64 10.1 version. After about 20 minutes of having multiple windows open, and so on. Things stop responding. I can't close browsers, i can't click on the green start button, and can't really go into any settings of any kind. I have followed all of the instructions below from this site.
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/17174.html has anybody else been experiencing this problem?? Oh i am using KDE if that has anything to do with it. But i'm pretty sure the samething happens in gnome as well. Thank you for your time on this matter.

AMD 4200 X2
2GB PC3200 DDR2
Dual 250GB SATA2 HD
Nvidia 7800GTX 256MB PCI-E
DVD/RW 16X NEC

I know the 7900GTX cards mostly use aftermarket coolers but do the 7800s? That sounds suspiciously like an overheating GPU to me but the hardware doesn't match. Install nvclock (make sure you grab a 0.8 beta for 7800 support) and use it to monitor the temp of your card while running Xgl.

I tried to install that nvclock but it doesn't work for me. When i typed in nvidia-settings, no options show up at all. Also when i type in ./nvclock it says command not found, also with any other commands.

What do you mean no options show up? Be more specific or copy-paste output. nvidia-settings is probably a better move than nvclock as it's installed where the nvidia drivers are.

I mean when i type in nvidia-settings the nvidia x server settings come up, but the only things that is listed on the left is nvidia-settings configuration. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...s/c7b5dcbe.png
When i don't have xgl running all of the normal options on the left show up. I think this is why the nvclock won't install either.

I have tired to install nvclock with the option to disable qt, but that didn't do anything either.

Ahhh okay, Xgl does do some silly stuff which might mess up the nvidia-settings logic. Maybe you could grab the info directly from the terminal. This should just dump the GPU core temp:

I typed in that command and got the following, both under user mode and su root.

S10164:/home/brooklynzoo81 # nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp | grep Att | awk '{print $4}'

ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this Display.


ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA GPUs on ':0.0'.
