I have a Nvidia FX 5200 (one of the cards not supported by the 4.3.0 driver). I've tried simply copying the new driver the correct location but that gives an abi module version error. Apparently this switch is possible though, because this guy (http://www.adebenham.com/laptop/toshiba_m200.html) did it successfully (and on the same laptop that I have I might add). Any ideas? > > Thanks! > KM New drivers aren't expected to work with older servers (you can use old drivers with new servers though). But the FX 5200 can be made to work with 4.3.0, it just needs some config file magic. You probably need to add Option "FlatPanel", and you might need to add Option "CrtcNumber" "0" or Option "CrtcNumber" "1" if that doesn't help. The 4.3.0 driver had a difficult time autodetecting the flat panel and which head it was on so it needed hints. The 4.4 driver should "just work", however. One possible bug with that laptop is that the console doesn't get restored correctly. You'd have to upgrade to 4.4 for that. Mark. PS. You might just want to upgrade to 4.4 anyhow. If I recall correctly, there is a bug where using alpha blended cursors could cause a segfault with all rotate drivers when the cursor was moved to the lower edge of the screen. That was a bug in the shadow framebuffer module. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mark Vojkovich <mvojkovi@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 20:25:23 -0800 (PST) > To: xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Does Rotate an Reflect work in 4.4? > > > On Thu, 4 Mar 2004, K.
