RE: [CentOS] Switch to Nvidia from ATI

Reposting in correct thread:

One thing I forgot to include in my previous post - be sure to read the documentation and look at NVidia's example XF86Config file (or whatever x.org calls it) - certain modules need to be disabled (dri, something else that I forget...). It's no big deal, since the nvidia module provides this functionality.

If oyu really want to take advantage of the performance those cards have to offer, you should use the nvidia  (that's the actual module name used by X) driver downloaded directly from NVidia. It makes a world of difference in performance, is easy to install, and is completely distribution neutral. It will work fine with XFree86 or X.org

Subject: [CentOS] Switch to Nvidia from ATI

I am having some issues (e.g. System lock ups) with my
ATI 9250 Video card.

I am thinging about replacing it with either a Nvidia

FX5200, FX5500, or a FX5600 card.

Is anyone using one of these cards on Centos 4.1 with
the stock (XORG) nv driver?
