[XFree86] NVidia GeForce FX Go 5200 - Success!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I just wanted to let the relevant people know that the "nv" driver works
on the NVidia GeForce FX Go 5200 chip.  This is the graphics card shipping
in the new PowerBook G4 12" 1GHz machines.  I am running the CVS snapshot
from yesterday, and the driver appears to not know about this specific
chip, but it runs nicely.  I haven't tested it much, since I'm just
getting my system set up, but I will report any oddities I find.

The details:

My XF86Config file just has

#############################
Section "Device"
  Identifier "NV"
  Driver "nv"
EndSection
#############################

And at startup, X reports (please excuse typos, I haven't got wireless or 
wired ethernet working at school yet...; many lines excluded):

(--) PCI:*(0:16:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x0329) rev 161, 
Mem @ 0x91000000/24, 0xa0000000/27, BIOS @ 0x90000000/17
(II) Loading [...]/nv_drv.o
  compiled for 4.3.99.14, module version = 1.0.1
(II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: [...]
(--) Chipset 0x0329 found
(--) NV(0): Chipset: "0x0329"
(--) NV(0): VideoRAM: 32768 kBytes


I'd be happy to provide any additional info.

Many thanks to the nv developers and the rest of the XFree86 team!

Cheers,
dstn.
