Redirect to nVidia forum

Please follow those instructions as best you can, you will get better luck that way. I did notice that the second error refers to display ":2.0" which makes me think that is not the main display. Provide the nVidia forum information on the display by running Code:
xdpyinfo -display :2.0 Good Luck with that other forum! bgoodr |
thanks for advice! I figured the 2.0 had something to do with, i am still a n00b so i can only guess problems and not fix them. I suspect it has something to with the my card agp? not pci, or even pci-ex? any guesses?

I really, REALLY hate to suggest this, but perhaps you would consider getting an upgrade to a newer card? I'm very happy with my somewhat newer video card (GeForce 7950 GT), which is also an nVidia card, and I keep the driver up to date too. But, if you want to pursue it further, the nVidia forum I pointed you to will provide you with much better advice than I can give. bgoodr |
What version drivers are you using ? Check the README on whatever one you're using to make sure your card is supported. According to nvidia:
