But, ........ I'm wondering if I can go to this version too. I'm using a GeForce4 488Go card, which is NOT listed in the APPENDIX A: SUPPORTED NVIDIA GRAPHICS CHIPS of the 5328 readme anymore (it was in the 4496 and 4363 readme's) Since my disastrous experiences with the 4496, I'm a bit shy to 'dive' into this new release without some realistic indication that it should work for me. Any idea how serious the "supported chips' list must be taken ?
"Any ideas?", you ask. YES. The list is not worth a pinch of horse manure as far as I am concerned.
The list contains all the cards I have but the driver will not work with 2 of them (I did try and install the driver on the 3rd computer with a MMX400 card -- see my earlier message).
I had to re-install 4363 on the other computers so I suggest you stick with it. But, of course, why not try the new one- you might be lucky and get it to work. Only takes less than 10 minutes to install/uninstall the new driver.
Pfew ! I counted to 10, then decided to give it a try, and .......YES the 5328 driver works correctly with my GeForce4 488Go. Also the CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 garbage problem (which I too had with the 4496 driver) has gone away. So, I'm happy for now. I hope others will/can follow. Greetings,
Well, there you are! Well done. Glad it's working with the 488Go card. This gives hope to others to at least try the new driver - there is nothing to lose. Cheers. -- Indecision is the key to flexibility.
