Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Q&A Forum

(solved) Issues with a PC with NVDIA GForce FX5200 (NV34); which Xorg.conf ?

(1/9) > >>

floppy:
I got a PC with a nvidia Gforce fx5200 (NV34) 128MB.
a) The multicore iso dont boot but come mostly to prompt (at different time depending of the RAM quantity).
b) A light version from core with xvesa boots but freeze after a certain time.

Issue..
a) the mobo is dead ?
b) ... or I have to install a nvidia driver at boot time.

So, can I have a recommendation ? (I already spent 3 hours on that machine..)
- boot core.gz  &..
- boot the list (in onboot.lst for using the bootcode lst=onboot.lst)

nvidia-module-3.0.x-tinycore.tcz
flash10.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
appbrowser-cli.tcz
wbar.tcz
Xvesa.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz

on boot?

Or should I need additional modules at boot?

Thanks a lot.

If you get a '$' prompt, it is booting.
losetup will show you what extensions successfully loaded.
Try running xsetup followed by startx.

The Xvesa extension should be able to give you a display without loading any graphics modules.  You may want to try Xorg-7.5 instead of Xvesa.  You can then use nvidia-settings.tcz to adjust your hardware settings.  Xvesa in 4.x does not work well with my nvidia gpus.

Hi floppy
According to AppBrowser, the Nvidia driver is version 280.13. The Nvidia website lists this as a 64bit Linux driver and
your card is not on the list of supported cards.

According to the website, you want version 173.1431.
