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

<< < (7/9) > >>

Rich:
Hi floppy
It's possible the nvidia driver is buggy. Maybe you want to try the driver that comes with Xorg.
In the  Device  section of your  xorg.conf  change:

--- Code: ---    Driver         "nvidia"
--- End code ---
to:

--- Code: ---    Driver         "nv"
--- End code ---
and see how that behaves.

floppy:
Extension name?

Rich:
Hi floppy
It's part of the  Xorg7.5 extension (/usr/local/lib/X11/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so). Changing  nvidia  to  nv  in your
existing  xorg.conf  file should be sufficient to try it out.

floppy:
1) I wanted to give a try to "NvAGP"  "1" and blacklist AGPGART + SIS_AGP (nvidia driver + Xorg7.5) = use of the nvidia AGP.
Result (sort of improvement)
   The screen comes.
   Wbar is there.
-> PC preeze after few mouse movement

2) Xorg7.6 dont start due to glx failed to load. I will load nvidia-glx at boot and post any result here.

I will try rich recommendation a bit later (exchange nvidia with nv driver).

floppy:
Solved. The nv driver from xorg75 had to be used (not the last nvidia driver after compilation).
