Nvidia 6200 LE -- need X86config example

di11rod · 01-09-2007, 06:43 PM

I've got an Nvidia 6200 LE I just put into a box that I installed KnoppixMythTV onto. The result is a dark-green display during X. I can't find any kind of configuration tool within Knoppix (Debian) to create a proper X86config file. Does anyone have a sample for this video card?

Eventually, I'll run this through TV-out, so it would be even more helpful to have a copy of the X86config that works for that. But for now, I'd be content to just get normal VGA working.

Any help appreciated. I'll be checking this post forever until I get this problem fixed, so don't think your response will be in vain.

Appreciatively,

Found the answer within the KnoppMyth wiki....

Works great after attaching a digital-to-analog plug.

If you are using an Nvidia GeForce 6200 based video card and an analog monitor

"When installing Knoppmyth with a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 video card and an analog monitor, the display would go very dim. It was hardly readable with the brightness turned all the way up.

The solution is to use the digital monitor out on the back of the video card with the analog adapter. This will give you a normal display.

In newer versions of the Nvidia drivers this bug is fixed. To upgrade your Nvidia drivers do the following.

* Start a new session

Ctl Alt F2

* login as root

* cd to your favorite download directory,

cd /tmp/
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...-8762-pkg1.run
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nv...fig-1.0.tar.gz

* then execute the script

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run

* at the end of the process the nvidia installer will restart x-windows for you

do NOT get the latest version of the nvidia driver it does not work nor will it install right. use the driver specified here only.
