I've got a Radeon All In Wonder that is driving me hairless. Damn thing refuses to behave as a TV card and I'm a newbie (ish) so the instructions at http://www.reades.com/radeon.html scared the (does this list kick swearing? ;)) out of me! Any suggestions for a TV card that does work under Linux? esp Mandrake 9.1 Thanks, Julian -----Original Message----- From: owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of lee quick Sent: 08 January 2004 19:39 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [LUG] RE: NVIDIA driver installation after kernel update On Thursday 08 January 2004 4:46 pm, Keith Abraham wrote:
OOPS Ignore my previous mail. The screensaver just kicked in and the 3D now longer functions. I think I'll forget Nvidia and get a graphics card from another manufacturer that doesn't involve so much hassle under Linux. Any suggestions (cheap)? Keith
Sounds familiar i had to jump through hoops to get the nvidia working ok, seems Sax2 has a nasty habit of selecting the dummy driver , after installing the nvidia package along similar lines to yourself, started sax and chose my relevant card there were several cards fitting my cards description however some were linked to the nv driver some to the nvidia driver! Ended up choosing anything that fitted the bill most closely using the nvidia driver in my case a GF-4-MX440se. You think nvidia's bad! i've got an ATI radeon 9000 pci board you could have which would give you a nervous breakdown. ;) On a more positive tilt i could burn you a dvd of my Suse RPMS, which runs to about 2.5 gigs of kernels,sources,rpms and most of the suse 8.2 apt repository,and includes nvidia drivers past and present. Or for that matter SUSE 9 ?
