I'm particularly interested in FX5200 and FX5500 experiences on 9.3. The list has been so quiet on this topic that either everyone is waiting for me to try it first or you are all dumbstruck and saddened by it. The NVidia forum has lots of postings, GeForce2 MMX? cards seem to cause the most problems still. I'm on page 6 and there have been few successes reported, though many problems seem to be misconfigured stuff. Regards Sid.
My card is an FX5200 and it works fine with the 7167 in 9.3, with no problems whatsoever installing it, by installing it the regular way (boot to console, init 3, MC, etc...). Didn't know there was a newer one, but since mine's working fine, I don't think I need it.

I hit a funny, I think I shall go back to 7167. Firefox crashed, after that df and other commands didn't work - it kept saying READ ONLY filesystem, CTRL-ALT-F1 worked, but with a screen of coloured blotches, and I needed a hard reset to reboot. The later postings held out more hope, I guess I am one of the ones with the problems reported earlier, half an hour looking good, then bump. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
