Use the vesa driver or use the proprietary nvidia driver. The nv driver
from xorg (or at least the version(s) supplies with Centos 4 do not
support my 6200 card. No amount of fiddling made any difference. The
proprietary driver supports it very nicely (if your computing philosophy
allows you to use it).
My computing philosophy certainly allows me to use it. I view the GPL,
all offshoots of it, and everyone involved with the mess it has created,
as just a very small part of the next generation of petty dictators,
read "idiots" or in Alexander Pope's still relevant terminology
"dunces", in the world.
By proprietary driver do you mean the one on NVidia's web site ? If not,
could you post a link I can use to get the correct NVidia driver for the
6200 card which works with CentOS 4.4. Thanks !
