Re: Problems with Guillemot 3D Prophet

After looking at the log it seems that in 2 instancies the card / chipset
is mis-reported .. In that in the PCI scan the chipset is determined as a
Nvidia Geforce 256 but as an unknown type .. the nv module then fails with
unknown type for the card.

Id say you have 2 options 1 checkout to see if there is an update to the
firmware of the card or perhaps ( Like some TNT2 cards ) the firmware
might be broken,

or better still the nvidia driver from NVidia would probably be a safer
bet.

comes with updated GLX also which on TNT2 cards performs excellently.
