Re: [XFree86] [XFree86(TM) Bug Report] Nvidia Geforce2Go: autodetects1400x1050 LCD, then refuses to use it (hysnc out of range)

2003-01-20 Thread Keith R Kilby




Hi

Read with interest your post. I have successfully loaded Dell C810 Geforce2
Go under Redhat Linux 7.2 and Redhat 8.0.

Will admit though the install under 7.2 was difficult but the following site
has a good guide http://www.m5computersecurity.com/Linux-on-C810.html which
I found through Google and this site http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/.

Sorry haven't got the XFree version number handy for either installation.
On Redhat 8.0 I downloaded all the information on the nvidia pages and the
rpm's. I installed RedHat as a terminal only installation (ie I skipped the
X configuration bit). I then installed the Nvidia rpms and ran the redhat
xconfiguration worked a dream following the guide on the Nvidia website.

Regards
Keith

You know why?  Because NVidia keeps it a secret how their cards work :(

While that's true, in fairness to Nvidia, the XFree86 source code 
was updated to support the GeForce 2 Go almost a year ago.  There 
just has not been an official XFree86 release which contains this 
updated driver since then.

Great :)

I love their hardware and I /am/ truly happy that they have at least
binary drivers and that Mark does good stuff on the open source drivers :)

Sounds like the specs are entered incorrectly in the Section Monitor
of the XF86Config.

  
  Contact NVidia instead or repeat the problem with the nv driver.
  

   If so, you'd have the same problem with either driver.  It sounds
like it's just a configuration problem.  Those panels don't have EDID's,
unfortunately, so there's no way for a configuration program to 
specify the limits correctly.


 
 Unfortunately:
 
 1. Nvidia seems to have no address for submitting bug reports for their
 software/hardware. They certainly have no support - they explicitly
 refuse to have anything to do with it!

   NVIDIA doesn't provide end-user support (never did for any OS).
The best resource for NVIDIA Linux/FreeBSD driver end users is the NVIDIA 
Linux forum on www.nvnews.net.

 
 2. The nv driver will NOT work according to Xfree docs - this is a
 GeForce2Go, which despite being several years old is not supported
 by the 4.2.1 nv driver - or is there a newer version I'm unaware of?

   The nv driver in CVS got support for GeForce2Go for about a year ago.
It should be supported in the 4.2.99.3 snapshot on ftp.xfree86.org.
The nv driver in CVS even supports hardware that NVIDIA announced yet.


Mark.
