Which x server driver should I choose for an nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB AGP. There are several different choices, and I don't know which to use. The choices are:
apm
ark
ati
chips
cirrus
cyrix
fbdev
glide
glint
i128
i740
i810
imstt
mga
neomagic
newport
nsc
nv
rendition
s3
s3virge
savage
siliconmotion
sis
tga
trident
tseng
vesa
vga
via
vmware

I think that the one I need is "nv", but I'm not 100% sure.

help please?


Thanks,
Kevin

It is nv or if that does not work vesa. To get the full use out of your video card, download the driver (module) from nVidia's web site.

OK, Thanks!

How do I increase my screen resolution? I try to configure my desktop, but the highest the resolution goes is 800*600. And I don't like it. I had this same system using the onboard video, and I could go up to 1400*1024 (or something like that).
Thanks for the help.

Find the vertical and horizontal refresh rates for your monitor then as root dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (or xserver-org if using that) choose advanced option put the rates in in the dialog when asked then when you get to the screen resolution dialog use the spacebar to select the resolutions you want the highest will be used by default. If you do this while still in a graphical environment then logout and use CTRL + ALT + Backspace keys at the same time to kill off and restart the X server. If done at the command line then /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart the Gnome Display manager or put kdm in place of gdm if using KDE Display manager.

Edit: If you eventually want to install the nvidia driver Debian has prebuilt modules you can install using apt-get.
