finding the elusive Rh8 5200 driver

finding drivers for the fx5200 is a common question, so anyone who remembers where they got their RH8 drivers for it, could you let me know where it is?

go to www.nvidia.com and select the download drivers. Choose the graphics option, then the "Geforce and TNT2" option, then select which version of linux you have. Then you download the file and execute it.

I have the Geforce 5600 and the drivers work well in fedora core 1, as well as RH8.0

cheers,

DH

linux IA32 corresponds to a 32 bit linux
linux AMD64 corresponds to a 64 bit linux with an AMD 64 processor
linux IA64 corresponds to a 64 bit linux with an Itanium 64-bit processor

you should choose IA32

Cheers,

DH
