NVIDIA Geforce2 MX 32MB SDRAM video card (new G4s)
Hi, My main box is a new "Quicksilver" 733Mhz G4 (with NVIDIA Geforce2 MX 32MB SDRAM video card as standard hardware). This video card is not supported in SuSE 7.1 PCC.. yet, as far as I know. Does anyone know a Linux PPC version that supports the new G4s' NVIDIA Geforce2 MX graphics cards? Perhaps a graphics card driver I could use with my SuSE 7.1 setup that would support my NVIDA Geforce2 MX graphics card? Thanks, Roger Chrisman San Francisco rogerhc@pacbell.net SuSE 7.1 PPC works fine on my PowerBook G3 (a pre Firewire one); I hope to get it running on my new G4, too.

The first patches for the nvidia cards are available since a while, but people report different success. Try to boot this kernel: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/vmlinux-2.4.12.gz maybe you need to force rivafb with a kernel argument: video=riva Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
