Soooo - I've been going through upgrading and have bumped into the nVidia driver issue that comes along with running 8.4. /var/log/Xorg.0.log Code: [ 547.956] (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 GPU installed in this system is [ 547.956] (WW) NVIDIA(0): supported through the NVIDIA 173.14.xx Legacy drivers. [ 547.956] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for [ 547.956] (WW) NVIDIA(0): more information. The 364.19 NVIDIA driver will ignore [ 547.956] (WW) NVIDIA(0): this GPU. Continuing probe... Is it possible to keep using my old video hardware or is a more current card absolutely required? (I have the nVIDIA 173.14 driver .run package - but the system needs compiler tools installed.) Just wondering... Thanks, -Ben |

nVidia stopped updating the 173 branch years ago and by many reports it doesn't work with Xorg beyond 1.16. R8.4 uses Xorg 1.18. |

I'll look to upgrade. (Sigh) Another fabulous/working video card into the reject pile. Unwanted. Unloved. Destined to be chewed up and spat from a eRecycling machine. |

ha! As a humorous update.. Looking into the machine.. yea... completely scraps the motherboard and everything. The FX5200 was AGP. SO....... Oh well. Anyone want an old Abit motherboard? |
