GeForce FX 5200 and Redhat 9

pld · 09-30-2003, 04:42 PM

Okay, I finally got fed up last night and decided to try it one more time.

Strange thing is, it works now (I think -- i'll leave complete judement of that for a few days of burn-in testing).

At least rh didnt lock up after a few minutes of use this time.

Setting up a NVIDIA video card is no big deal. You can find the NVIDIA driver and and a working XF86Config file at http://www.linuxmall.us/free I posted the info just for you.

Well now it say bad bash command when type Xconfigrator or Xf86config So really some help this.

Xconfigrator and Xf86config are just tools the creat a XF86Config file.
I posted one on my site for you to use.

Now it won't let me go to your sever to download video drivers

I had the same problem and i solved it like this:

installed RH 9.0
made a boot disk
on boot entered "linux single" for single mode
when entered on single mode edited the inittab (etc/inittab) file and changed initmode to 3
rebooted and logged in as root
installed nvidia drives, downloaded via nvidia website
re-edited inittab to initmode 5
rebooted and it worked, X runs perfectly

btw mpearce what resolution r u running at i have this geforce fx5200 on debian iv installed all teh drivers it says nvidia before it starts x everything works fine but i cant get it to work on 1152x864 only 1024x768 (it works in windows) i never deleted the lines that nvidia told me to, i simply changed nv to nvidia ?

can you guys check for me please i have a 128mb card

enyawix · 12-26-2004, 06:20 PM

1152x864 why? That is not a normal. 800*600, 1024*768, or 1280*1024 should work just fine.
