No.
GeForce FX 5200 is said to be supported by 173.14.xx driver, but I have not old cards to confirm.

Hey folks. Im new to posting but have used puppy on and off for a few years.

I am having a problem with loading nvidia drivers for a geforce fx 5900 xt.
I am using puppy lucid 5.2.8 and tried the 174. drivers and, using an Acer 173 lcd monitor @1280x1024 res.

the generic drivers have the screen offset to the rt a bit.

If i install the nvidid 174. pup in the lucid repository, and after, i restart x server, it drops to prompt i have to use xorgwizard to unld driver because it wont load.


i also have this problem when i switch wm from openbox to xfce(installed wm). in that scenario, xorgwizard wont even run and have to hard reboot. Scrren centers correctly in xfce if I change refresh from 60 to 75(top edge is off a hair)

Is that the right driver for my vid card?
Does the xfce 4.6 wm in lucid repository trouble nvidia driver?

This is the only problem im having in puppy 5.2.8, getting the nvidia driver to take.
(I do get the error in the nvidia server settings that the driver isn't being used)
Thanks

Btw, precise puppy beta generic driver loads screen correctly.

Nvidia Optimus

#29 Post by Scooby »

I want to ask you shinobar since you seem to be something of an expert
on Nvidia drivers.

I want to run Bumblebee on puppy linux!

Bumblebee is a program that enables nvidia optimus technology to be used in Linux. There is compiled versions for ArchLinux, Ubuntu and Mandriva.
see
http://bumblebee-project.org/


Is there a puppy linux distro that you think could run any of these?

Could it be compiled for any puppy linux distros? For me it is not so important what puplet Im runnin. Have been running Lucid, Slacko,DPUP Exprimo and Fatdog


Please help, I'm a noob in Linux but has knowledge with windows programming(And I'm very tired of anything from M$ )

PS If it doesnt work with puppy linux which of ArchLinux, Ubuntu and Mandriva is easiest to get on a usb flash drive?

Hello folks...

I got my self a "new" laptop with finally some nice specs...

Its a ASUS U36S

I really like to run Lupu and/or Lupu plus

This has the 2.6.33.2 kernel... All works beutifully, apart that I can not get the Nvidia driver to get my flying... The Nvidia card inside is the GL 520M that also has this "optimus" technology

I think I need to drop to my knees here and ask for some advice on how to get this driver to work with the 1366x768 as I have tried the nvidia-glx-304.51.sfs , but there is no 1366x768 resolution to chose as i drop to xorgwizard and once done chosing the driver the laptop screen goes black and the driver is not picked up...

EDIT... The driver is now installed, but not chosen. Still i come to a black screen and no 1366 option... *END OF EDIT*

Anyone has a similar Nvidia card that can guide me?

I can live with just using 70% of the ram installed with Lupu, but I really want to have a snappy screen..

Another Edit...

I now got the proper resolution... But once i boot the machine i get this message from Nvidia that i should run xorgwizard... when i do that the screen goes black no matter what resolution i choose...

There is no choice for 1366 resolution there...

hope for some advice... But i am very happy just to get the right resolution

Here is my xorg.conf

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

Someone must correct me if I am wrong, but I believe a new 'xorg.conf' will automatically be built if you don't have one. I know that is the case with the big Mesa driver package, it will start the process by just restarting X. You can rename your existing xorg.conf, then restart X from the menu. Eventually, you can go to console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. In the console, don't start 'xorgwizard', but try first to run 'xwin'. The process may then build a new 'xorg.conf', and start X. If not, run 'xorgwizard', then 'xwin'.
