one of my pcs has an old riva, that's supported up to driver version 7174.
i recently tried to install nvidia support "the Debian way", as the
nvidia installer for 7174 works no more with the newer version of the
xorg server, or so it seems to me
i had no problem building the kernel "legacy" modules, but i found that
the nvidia-glx that i installed had a mismatched version... i found
Randy's repository and tried to install nvidia-glx-legacy_1.0.7174-1_i386.deb
but nvidia-glx-legacy_1.0.7174-1_i386.deb is meant for an xfree server...
am i correct? at the moment, i'm using the nv video driver, but no ppracer
is too sad to say in words...
may i wish that in the future there will be a nvidia-glx-legacy.*7174.*.deb
built for the xorg server?
best regards,
gb
