[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers and vesa on GeForce 6100 nForce 400
Is it possible to get nvidia binary drivers working for an onboard GeForce 6100 nForce 400? lspci doesn't recognise it: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 03d2 (rev a2) I saw it listed in _one_ nvidia-drivers package (on the nvidia website) as supported, but it hasn't been since. Also, when I try and boot with vesafb-tng, I get this error in the kernel output: vesafb: BUG, returned from vm86 with (EIP: 0xc0fcc) vesafb: warning, copying modelist from somewhere in RAM! vesafb: Sorry, pre-VBE 2.0 cards are not supported. vesafb: vbe_init failed vesafb: probe of vesafb.0 failed with error -22 and a low 640x480 console resolution. anyone else have the Gigabyte GAM61VME-S2 or the nforce 400? thanks, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au Anyone who has had a bull by the tail knows five or six more things than someone who hasn't. -- Mark Twain -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If not, you may not be updating the device id database it uses to identify hardware. vesafb: BUG, returned from vm86 with (EIP: 0xc0fcc) vesafb: warning, copying modelist from somewhere in RAM! vesafb: Sorry, pre-VBE 2.0 cards are not supported. vesafb: vbe_init failed vesafb: probe of vesafb.0 failed with error -22 Isn't there an option in more recent kernels to disable vm86 for buggy VGA bioses? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
