Does anyone have experience getting the Livna nVidia drivers to behave on FC6 with the G-Force 6200? Here's my story: I had an old G-Force 5200FX (128MB/AGP). Attempting to run with the current Livna drivers immediately froze the system when X started. The only option was a hard reset, rescue CD, update to default at runlevel 3 and uninstall to return to the opensource driver. Thinking it may be hardware issues (but also being on a tight budget), I replaced the old card with a shiny new PNY G-Force 6200 (128MB/AGP). The Livna drivers now no longer freeze the system, but I am only able to run at 800x600 resolution, regardless of how I manually adjust display settings. Higher resolutions work fine when falling back to the opensource driver, but I have constant video repaint issues, particularly when typing text. The current Livna beta drivers still totally lock the system (with a grey screen at startup). I've perused (briefly) NVnews and the Livna bugzilla system for hints, but thought I would also post here to see if I missed something (which is quite possible).
Post your X log. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
