Description Michael Calmer 2005-08-09 10:18:16 UTC 
If the card "GeForce 6600 GT" is detected two special options are required  
in the "Device" Section of xorg.conf 
 
  Option       "XaaNoPixmapCache" 
  Option       "XaaNoOffScreenPixmaps" 
 
Without these sometimes some strange colors are shown.

It's specified. Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

xorg.conf
Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-25 15:19:43 UTC 
[...] 
  Option       "XaaNoPixmapCache" 
  Option       "XaaNoOffScreenPixmaps" 
[...] 
 
So where's the problem?
Comment 11 Michael Calmer 2005-08-25 15:30:22 UTC 
He has added these parameters by Hand, because he wants to work:-) 
 
Tomorrow he can give more informations
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-25 15:40:09 UTC 
Ok. Now I understand.
Comment 13 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-25 21:39:00 UTC 
Marcus, I wonder what's wrong here ...
Comment 14 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-26 15:57:15 UTC 
Unfortunately only Marcus can investigate this. :-(
Comment 15 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-28 16:14:35 UTC 
I don't believe that the options has been added by hand. The options 
are set for the following cards: 
 
 NAME=NVidia DEVICE=GeForce 6600 GT VID=0x10de�DID=0x0140 
 NAME=NVidia DEVICE=GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) VID=0x10de�DID=0x0161 
 
sax2 -r from runlevel 3 and the /var/log/SaX.log will occupy that
Comment 16 Michael Calmer 2005-08-29 10:08:38 UTC 
Sorry does not work. 
 
I removed my xorg.conf and start sax2. I attache the resulting xorg.conf 
 
You can see it on my workstation if you do not trust me :-) 
 
I also attache the SaX.log

Comment 19 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-29 14:21:53 UTC 
Still needs to be investigated by Marcus.
Comment 20 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-29 15:39:26 UTC 
yes I see the problem is Stefan specified the options wrong. Stefan  
you passed RAW= options without a value this is not allowed bool only  
options need to appear as OPT= values in the Identity map  
  
for example "NAME=Cirrus LogicDEVICE=GD 5430/40 VID=0x1013DID=0x00a0"  
 
  OPT=Noaccel 
 
bool options use a simple , as seperator 
 
  OPT=o1,o2,o3 
 
raw options requires a value 
 
  RAW=Option "bla" "on",Option "bla2" "off" 
 
could you please fix, thanks
Comment 21 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-29 16:21:07 UTC 
fixed.
Comment 22 Matthias Hopf 2005-09-07 13:22:37 UTC 
Tracked on developer.nvidia.com now as #187817.
