My GPU card is an nVidia G92 (GeForce 9800 GT)
The version of X starting with 15.2 does not support the NVIDIA proprietary driver for that card because it is no longer maintained by nvidia.
Use nouveau...
Which nouveau would that be? None of my NVidia GPUs, newer and older than G92, are using proprietary drivers, and none are using nouveau DDX drivers, while all are using nouveau kernel drivers, and all are using nouveau Mesa drivers.
Well on top of the nouveau kernel driver I have these installed.
$rpm -qa | grep -i nouveau libXvMC_nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64 xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-lp152.5.6.x86_64 Mesa-dri-nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64 libdrm_nouveau2-2.4.100-lp152.1.4.x86_64 libvdpau_nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64
I've got 9800GT and 7800GT cards working great on 15.2.
Mine work work great without xf86-video-nouveau. e.g.: # rpm -qa | grep -i nouveau libvdpau_nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64 Mesa-dri-nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64 libdrm_nouveau2-2.4.100-lp152.1.4.x86_64 libXvMC_nouveau-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64 # inxi -GISay System: Host: p5bse Kernel: 5.3.18-lp152.41-default x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 parameters:...
