Grahics card drivers ( question v. 2.0)
 

Hi,
I have a pentium 3 Gateway Essential 550 running Arch Linux. I did have some expierience in Xubuntu and i felt as though i needed to get something more lightweight and something more rigorious. I now tried to play a megavideo video and it was playing like a picture flipped up and stayed there for 3 seconds, then flip, then flip. I did another thread on a similar issue with my xubuntu install, but, as i found out, Arch doesn't have a command (as far as i know) to instll new ppas?!! I don't know how to install these drivers. (for more details with my problem, here's the old thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...9/) PLZ HELP!!!!

Sorry, but the driver you have right now is probably the best you can get. If you are -very- lucky, you might have a NVIDIA GeForce2 and there is still a driver for it. But ATI discontinued support for these era PCI card years ago and all other brand (intel, matrox, 3dfx, S3) have their drivers included in Xubuntu. My guess for this era hardware is an ATI Rage128, intel 7** or a Voodo3

there is NO current driver for a gforce2 card ( i have one) and the current xorg

if you have one you need tot use the nouveau driver

on a very very old p3 cpu computer from 1998 ?
centOS 5 should still work

I have a 10 year old box with a 1.9 Ghz P4 and a nvidia Gforce2 mx 400 ( using nouveau ) and 1 gig ram running ScientificLinux 6.1
