SuSE 9.0 AMD ?? Soyo ?? 17 inch LCD GeForce FX 5200 AGP
A friend's tnt video card fried (fan) and we replaced it with a 128M GeForce FX 5200 AGP.
Ran the nvidia updater (5336), followed directions (root) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run sax2 -m 0=nvidia text screen changed to X and blank screen (black).
edited /etc/X11/XF86Config, nvidia changed to nv init 5 -> blank screen (black)
Ran nvidia updater (4496) with same results.
note: With the previous tnt card, the 5336 ver would not work (blank screen) but the 4496 would (w/o 3d, nv not nvidia driver).
Changed driver to nv (SuSE original). Same blank screen in X.
I know not where to turn. Suggestions welcome, please.
Try booting into init 3 and moving /etc/XF86Config to /etc/XF86Config.bak. Reinstall the 5336 version and then run sax2 -m 0=nvidia. Just to be sure, I just ran through those steps on my own system and it provided a working system. -- Louis D. Richards LDR Interactive Technologies
