I can't seem to find an nvidia driver version that works with a PCI FX5200. Versions later >= 173.15 don't support the 5200 series. I tried several 173.14.xx versions, and they all build and the nvidia module loads, but Xorg dies with an illegal instruction signal when it starts. (Xorg runs fine with the "nv" driver.) I'm trying the 100.14.19 driver, but so far, I can't get it to compile. I've tried 2.6.27 and 2.6.25 kernels, and the nvidia module fails to compile with them. I'm trying 2.6.24 next, but it takes so long to build kernels on a 400MHz box that the trail and error approach is pretty frustrating.
Is there a database somewhere of what nvidia driver versions work with which kernel versions and which boards? -- Grant
