The GeForceFX 5700 is technically not supported by the "nv" driver prior to XFree86 4.4. XFree86 4.3's "nv" driver will try to treat it as an older card and start up anyhow, but in the case of the 5700, that doesn't work (except for digital flat panels, where it kindof works). It's works fine with XFree86 4.4. Mark. On Sun, 21 Mar 2004, David Eduardo Gomez Noguera wrote: > Hello.
