Nvidia did release new drivers, but those are not suitable for his (old) GeForce FX 5200 card.
Oops. Then I'm sorry. In this case the reporter needs to complain directly to NVIDIA. SuSE/Novell can't help here with proprietary drivers.
There does exist a newer 173.14.15 driver for his old card, but I think it only fixes the compatability with new kernels and X.org.
Can't find this version on NVIDIA's website. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
