[clue] XFCE freezes on log in.

[daryl kuchay]

If your device ID is:

GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro 	0x0150

You may not be compatible with the Noveau driver depending on it's
age. Just found this page that was updated this morning.

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames

It claims on the latest updates that your card will be supported for
openGL 1.2. As most distributions seem to throw the Nouveau driver in
instead of Nvidia or a generic driver. I have not played with XFCE in
years however I can't discount that that if your nouveau is dated that
it could be locking your system up due to incompatibility.

Is this in a laptop or Desktop? I am around this weekend. If you have
an old desktop I have a Nvidia Quattro NVS 280 passive, AGP, in my
storage shed a few miles away. Would be happy to loan it out to you to
see if switching the card or the GPU in the bios helps clear the
issue.
