I have a GeForce FX 5200 and the newer nvidia-glx_180.29-1 and related packages won't work for it, either.
From looking at nVidia's website, the latest drivers for GeForce 5 FX series cards is 173.14.12. The nvidia-glx_180.29-1 package doesn't support the GeForce 5 FX series cards anymore, even though the Debian package description says it does. :-( The fact that support for these chipsets has been dropped is specified in the README document in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz in the nvidia-glx_180.29-1 package just after Appendix A2, starting at line 5067. So unfortunately the nvidia 173.14.09 packages will need to be retained and maintained. :-/ And the package description for the nvidia 180.29-1 packages needs updating to remove unsupported chipsets. I'm retaining a custom kernel built with the nvidia_180.29-1 drivers, so if more detail is requested I can supply it. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
