What are you asking? If your asking how to get the proprietary driver to work with a card that it doesn't support.... I wouldn't think you can. If your talking about using the open-source driver, then I would think you can add your ID to the list and have it use limited functionality from a previous version card e.g. Add the id to make same as say 5200. If it were me, I'd try the YOU installed driver and see what the log says the driver says and post what your seeing. I just did a YOU update for nvida on my 9.2 laptop and it loaded the driver without needing Sax2. I was able to just do the YOU update and that was it. To get my widescreen resolution to work, would make changes to the XF86Config file, the boot X and check with "cat /var/log/Xorg.log.0 | grep NV" So, are you saying that YOU doesn't install the driver because it's not on a YOU list? Are you saying you can install the driver, but it fails to recognize the card properly? (if this is the case, what does the driver say EXACTLY) You don't need to have Sax2 enable the driver. Maybe Sax2 doesn't have the right list? All you need to do is install the driver via YOU. make sure XF86Config says driver "nvidia" instead of "nv" ("nv" = open source driver) Then you should see ouput in the log from the driver. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you have to manually load the driver with modprope nvidia the first time after installing. B-) B-) On Friday 21 January 2005 02:25 pm, Fred A. Miller wrote:

I didn't think it checks a list until X boots the driver.
No, SAX2 must be run AFTER YOU gets the driver and it's not on the list.
