I just realized that I will be in a similar situation soon.. I have the same card, which is currently working perfectly (read: as well as it does under Windows... 3D stuff likes to routinely lock up in either platform.. still trying to track down the source.. already have new mobo..) under the FC1 2.4.something kernel.. I suppose I shall bolster myself for irritation when I upgrade to FC2 with its 2.6.something kernel.. But I want 2.6 for its bt support.. Oh the dilemma!
I'll be sure to post if I uncover any magic formulas to get it to work. ~B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Monjar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [TriLUG] help with PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 128MB Video Card > --On Tuesday, September 07, 2004 01:16:36 PM -0400 Dan Monjar > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --On Tuesday, September 07, 2004 01:12:07 PM -0400 Kipp Spanbauer > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> > >> To compile and install for use with Fedora Core: > >> > >> $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --add-this-kernel > >> > >> This will build a custom module named > >> "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run" to install. > >> > >> $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run > >> > >> I hope this helps, > >> Kipp > > > > me, too <grin>...
