geforce 6800 not listed in sax2
Hi. It looks like lots of people are having trouble with the 6800. I have tried everything I have found on every website I can find and still no luck but I am only a noob to linux
Ive got Suse 9.1 Pro and everything is up to date and patched.
Had a problem with the rivafb bit in kernel but fixed that and the module loads by using modprobe and shows up when i do lsmod as first item. I dont get any error messages or anything and I have tried both the 6106 and 6629 drivers from nVidia website and didnt get any error messages after I recompiled the kernel to get rid of the rivafb problem.
Trouble is I just dont get the option to pick the 6800 in sax2.
Kernel 2.6.5-7.111.30

It worked perfectly in WinXp and the Vesa Frambuffer driver seems to work ok but I wanna get it sorted.
Its an AGP card, via chipset and Athlon XP 2400+ 32bit.
Any help much appreciated.
