Dear All I have upgraded the graphics card on my MSI K8T Neo-V mainboard which has 1 GB RAM, from a gigabyte GV-N40128TE, to an EVGA e-GeForce 6200 LX, with 256 MB. In my machine, I am running Fedora Core 5 and windows XP. The problem now is that Fedora doesn't recognize the new graphics card (during boot-up, it reports as "unknown device") and it hangs up. I wonder if there is any way to make FC5 recognize this card, or if a newer version of Fedora will work. any help will be greatly appreciated Regards Antonio Barragan
1. Boot in text mode; i.e. at boot prompt press "a", " ", "3", and Enter. 2. Log in and as superuser/root run "system-config-display" or "system-config-display --reconfig". 3. Set VESA as your adapter. 4. You can start X or reboot 5. Enable Livna as a yum repo, download/install the packaged video driver. 6. After the driver has been installed you can adjust the monitor resolution and color depth. Later Fedora releases have improved Nvidia drivers. However, you still will need to enable Livna to get drivers packaged to match kernel version.
