My experience exactly with the FX5200 128M card. I think SaX is looking for something else, so is not able to detect it with the latest drivers. Regards Sid.
Glad to hear that people have the Geforce FX5200 running, but I am having problems. I have a Biostar Geforce FX5200 with an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard. Doing a clean install of SuSE 9.0 Pro. The install goes fine, and the default nv drivers work fine. At the moment I am using the 2.4.21-99 athlon kernel. do not have the kernel source installed. I read the read me on the nvidia site for SuSE users. That recommended using YOU to install the patch. I used YOU to install the nvidia driver. When I restarted X I got nothing. Just a blank screen. I then noticed the read me said something about not having the nvidia module loaded when doing the install. Even though I was using the nv module, I reinstalled SuSE, and then used Yast from runlevel 3 to install the nvidia patch. Black screen when I type startx. If I log in as root and type sax2, then sax2 uses the nv driver and everything works fine. If I type sax2 -m 0=nvidia, then I get a blank screen. Can't even Ctl-Alt-F@ to get to another console. I assumed that I didn't need the kernel source installed if I used the YOU method. maybe i should use the alternate method of running the nvidia installer with the source package installed.
