My point was not that the existing open-source drivers are amazing, but that by not releasing their drivers as open, nVidia can force users to upgrade to newer cards by simply ceasing to support older cards on newer drivers or by not fixing older drivers to work with never environments. They cannot be blamed, since they cannot support older hardware forever, but idealistically the FLOSS community *would* be able to if the drivers were open.

Well, you're screwed. I see three options: 1. Use nv. 2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130039 3. Use the console.

However I never had an issue running the latest sid xorg with the latest debian nvidia glx. Thanks Damon. If you run the latest Sid nvidia driver that would be version 100.14.19 which came out 09/18/07 As I told Ron, I have to use the 96xx legacy series because of the cards that I have. nv really does not compare with nvidia. my multi-seat users need X. I guess I am looking for new videocards. Hugo Hugo, I think you mis-understand: I run nvidia as a driver. I just don't use the Nvidia installer from Nvidia. I use modual assistant to make the drivers as per that link I sent. Try it. However, I know from supporting RHEL that if you use the Nvidia installer, it is well known to break things as it installs files where ever it wants to. You will Really? I've been using the native ftp.nvidia.com driver with Debian for 3-4 years, without any breakage. The only thing I have to remember is to symlink libglx.so.169.04 to libglx.so whenever xserver-xorg-core is updated. $ ls -1l libglx.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 31 03:03 libglx.so - libglx.so.169.04 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 763496 Dec 3 22:25 libglx.so.169.04 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 429010 Dec 21 18:43 libglx.so.software have to insure all parts of it are installed. I once read a posting from a RH employee/devoloper how it breaks things (and hence will not be supported by RH if sysreport shows it is installed) but the details are forgotten. -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables! unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
