Well checking the supported products, only the 7800GTX is supported, not
the 7800GT.
The first drivers to include 7800GT support were version 77.77 (windows
only release) to coincide with the release of the 7800GT (also on August 11)
Windows XP/2000
Version: 77.77
Release Date: August 11, 2005
The latest Linux drivers were released 2 days prior to the 7800GT being
available, therefore no support for that card.
Linux Display Driver - IA32
Version: 1.0-7676
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: August 9, 2005
You would assume it would be fixed up in the next driver version, but
that's no consolation. People have given benchmarks from a 7800GT on
linux (gentoo even), but nothing on getting it to work.
It does also mention the NVIDIA device files so I suppose you should
check that as well.
ls /dev | grep nvidia
Should give these two results
nvidia0
nvidiactl
