[bugs] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1161] oi_151 32 bits nVidia driver freezes the machine

[illumos bugs]

Issue #1161 has been updated by D McD.


Can confirm this happens to me as well.
AMD Athlon II X4 640
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Nvidia GTS250
WD 250GB RE3 x2 (mirror)

Hard locks would happen completely randomly. At first I thought it was a RAM issue and spent 2 days memtesting, which all came back clear.

Also after resuming to desktop from a suspend, menus, dialogs etc take a long time to fade in/out, as though the refresh rate is stupidly low, 5FPS for example.

Hi!
When trying to switch from one window to another (system recently installed from oi_151 iso), the entire machine freezes.
>From that point, I have no other solution than pressing the power button to do a hardware reset, and start again the machine.
The nVidia card is an old Geforce Go 7400 installed in a laptop (HP DV5000 - 32 bits - Intel Dual Core - 2 GB RAM).
Thanks in advance for your time and attention!
Best regards,

HeCSa.
