This card should work with the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86 4.3, but may need some XF86Config file tweaking to get it to come up (a newer XFree86 snapshot than 4.3 will likely "just work"). Check the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. If it didn't autodetect the flat panel, you should add Option "FlatPanel" to the Section "Device". If that doesn't work see which Crtc number it is using (0 or 1). It should tell which it is using in the log file. Use the other one. Eg. Option "CrtcNumber" "0". If you can't get it to work, I'll need to see your /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. Mark.

I my initail research I found nothing except that XFree86 didn't list my video card on the support page. I would love to know how to program a driver, but I don't so I am open to suggestions. I am unpartial to any linux distribution or if need be install the kernal and all the little parts individually. I just want this to work. > > Thanks > _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
