Re: FC 5 doesn't recognize video card

Thanks for your reply.

I have just visited the Livna repo, and it seems to be a lot of nvidia-related
stuff in there. Should I get it all?

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

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.
