Don't know if you want to hear this but I tried "upgrading" to the 5200 and it did the same thing. I never could get it resolved so I ended up going back to the GeForce3 card. I hear the the 5900 has been used successfully with Linux in general but don't take my word on it. Good luck. Zach On Sat, 2003-08-02 at 17:53, thom@cavtel.net wrote:
Hi,
I just replaced old Geforce with a new Geforce FX 5200. I boot into a blank screen now. Starting in text mode I can start Yast and there all the NVIDIA options for my card cause a lock-up that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace can't get me out of. I've already tried the Nvidia forum and will look back. Is there a way in Yast to get the generic NViDIa drivers back and work from there? Not sure if going into xf86config will help either. Should I put the old card back in and try something there? Don't want to reinstall SuSe 8.2 (though i could back-up my docs and do this)
