What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Running pyrit from within X crashes with GTS 250 2. Tried to minimize the buffersize without success 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Should be working fine since it works from a tty

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? This is running pyrit 0.3 (r225) on gentoo amd64 with nvidia 190.53-r1 and sdk 2.3

I'm getting these messages in dmesg when it fails: kernel: NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 8, Channel 00000003

btw, I also tested with latest rev r229 and I get the same results

Hope this can help.

I also had problems in past if X server war running: more, also if start console in resolution bigger than 80x25. So if you have to run long session of batch/attack/etc better to leave PC to do that jobs without disturb it.

So, after some bad experieces I developed there 3 rules:

A. start PC with care to NOT do framebuffer, but running 80x25: if X server starts, in k/gdm choose "command line login"

B. do all activities on pyrit in command line

C. better avoid other activities on PC when pyrit is running.

I forgot to say that I am talking about NVIDIA card, ATI card needs X server running.

Please update your drivers to the version that is released together with cuda 3.0
