Comment 118 for bug 43154

Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm glad I finally found this thread. My Linux box has been crashing with 3D stuff so many times... I thought XMoto (2D motocross platform game) was fun to play, but my Linux box kept crashing. Some screen savers also mess things up and wine just keeps giving me errors that no one else had ever heard of. So now I know, it's that North Bridge VIA K8M800 Chipset (UniChrome Pro 3D) that came with my ASRock K8Upgrade-VM800 motherboard. I thought it'd be something like that. By the way, I use Debian GNU/Linux, stable version (but the problem was also present when I used testing). I agree with gary4gar that the best thing for now is to buy a second graphics card like the NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5200 or something. He wrote it's "@1000 bucks or even less", but I think he meant @100, because for example Amazon sells it (eVGA e-GeForce FX 5200 128 MB GPU) for $45.24. http://www.linuxcompatible.org/NV34_GeForce_FX_5200_c12642.html This thread started out with a bug submit on 2006-05-05, that's 1.5 years ago. I think we can all agree that Linux distro's failed here. We are better off just buying an additional video card.
