I realize that the readme says that my card is supported by the 180
series drivers. However, it is not. I can assure you that the xserver
will not load with these drivers and the GeForce FX 5200 card. In the
detailed errors from the xserver the driver gives a response that says
this card is now being moved into legacy support. You can even check
the module aliases in the 180 series driver and you will see that in
actuality this card is not supported by these drivers. If you want more
evidence go to the Nvidia website and on the driver download page select
Beta and Archived drivers, and then do a search for this card. You will
see that the 180 series is not listed for that card. Although it does
list some drivers from the 177 series, and in actuality those drivers do
not support this video card either.
Now, back to the real issue. As I pointed out in the bug report, it
does not matter what video card you have. Avant Window Navigator HAS A
BUG. No matter what video card or driver you use, when applets are to
the right of the tray and the tray is resized, THERE ARE VISUAL
GLITCHES. If your processor and video card are good enough they may be
so fast that you can barely see them, but I am willing to bet that they
are still there.
