Running SuSE 8.2 with a Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 card. This is what
is reported under /proc/driver/mvidia/cards/0. When I switch the card
to a GeForce FX 5200 and reboot I can the GRUB screen and select linux.
After that the screen goes blank and never show the normal booting
screen (the one where F2 shows the details). I've switch back to the
MX 400 card until this problem can be solved. Can anyone help me out?
BTW I'm using nvidia driver 1.0-5328.
Thanks,
Terry
