ups sorry - here the real version
Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x086f "GeForce 9200M G" As assumed before. Another secret/undocumented device. Search for it in NVIDIA driver's README.txt. You won't find it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
