MG Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 I dunno. I'm kinda liking Macs lately too. Not for the eye candy, but I'm hating Windows more and more and I feel like getting my hardware to work with Linux is a real crapshoot sometimes. Right now my computer is running Linux well but I keep running back to Windows everytime I need to use a tablet. I'm thinking a G5 with Apprentice would be pretty sweet now that they have Nvidia cards... I think my main thing is I don't want to build or maintain computers anymore and I don't want to install Operating Systems anymore. I just want to buy something that works out of the box. I'm lazy. I'd buy a workstation from Boxx or HP but then I'd have to go through all the hassle of replacing Redhat or SuSe or Windows or whatever it is they'd install on it MG, what sort of video card and drivers are you running? nVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go (32MB) with the latest detonator drivers (Detonator v.56.72). But I think, now, it's most likely my USB hub that has been causing all the problems. By the way, getting Linux installed/working isn't always the big issue for me. I just rely on too much Windoze software at the moment. And emulation is not really an option, which would force me to switch Linux/Windows everytime I need a certain program.

Mcronin Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well, I've had nothing but bad luck with forceware drivers in Houdini... try using 4X series drivers... 45.28 is good for me. You can find them on Nvidia's quadro driver page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Everything works fine now for me! I'm using 7.0.99 at the moment in Win2K. It's definately the USB hub that was causing it all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 USB Hub? Curious, anyone recommend ATI's FireGL over Quadro? I think I might get a new graphics card soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
