Hi!

Just purchased (most of) a new system and compiled some extra parts to form a brand spanking new dual-core AMD64 system.
So far, everything is working like a champ. Except video, that is.

The video card is an Evga e-Geforce 7200 GS PCIE with 256 on-board RAM.
The OS is Debian Lenny (Testing) for AMD64, the weekly build for this week.

I'm trying to get openGL going (3D hardware if I can). The EVGA site doesn't have any Linux drivers available. So, going by the "Powered by Nvidia" label blatently posted on the box, I went to Nvidia's site and tried their driver. X stays blank and the monitor enters powersave mode.

I'm really not sure how to proceed. Has anyone else had experience with this card?


EDIT:
PCI ID: 0000:000:05.00, if it helps any. It's an "nVidia Corporation Unkown Device 01d3 (rev a1)" according to lspci.

Well, if you go to nvidia site -> driver download -> see the list of supported cards, does it list your specific card model? If it doesn't, then the driver obviously does not work

Evga's website says they don't support linux unless nvidia happened to make a driver for your particular card. Your particular card is not supported by nvidia.

I had gotten as far as "the driver doesn't work" .

I know the card isn't supported by nVidia; I was kind of hoping someone had managed to hack it together to work.

Oh well, i guess it's back to the shop for a different card....

Thanks for the help.
