Re: Nvidia GeForce2 [was Re: woody]
Nvidia cards require their proprietary driver to work under X. No, I believe this isn't true. Use the 'nv' driver (included with XFree86 and open source (obviously)) and you should be okay. If you want full 3D acceleration (essentially as good as their Windows driver), then you can use their proprietary driver, but otherwise you don't need it. I have a Geforce4 card at home, which the 'nv' driver doesn't (yet) recognize, so I had to use the proprietary one to get X going at all. But the nv driver supports through the Geforce3's: (II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: RIVA128, RIVATNT, RIVATNT2, RIVATNT2 (A), RIVATNT2 (B), RIVATNT2 (Ultra), RIVATNT2 (Vanta), RIVATNT2 M64, RIVATNT2 (Integrated), GeForce 256, GeForce DDR, Quadro, GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 GTS (rev 1), GeForce2 ultra, Quadro 2 Pro, GeForce2 MX, GeForce2 MX DDR, Quadro 2 MXR, GeForce 2 Go, GeForce3, GeForce3 (rev 1), GeForce3 (rev 2), GeForce3 (rev 3) --Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Have a Nvidia GeForce2 DDR in my system. Can,t get my xserver running,nor my usb logitech mouse. I assume you have installed X4.x. If not, run: apt-get install xserver-xfree86 Then try running XFree86 -configure as root. This should give you a working configuration file that gives you an ugly gray screen. You can then tweak the config file into more usable setup. If this doesn't start the xserver, check /var/log/XFree86.0.log for error messages Or run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 select the nv driver for your card. Hi- Having problems with the same card.
