Runlevel 5 and everything starts now but seem my logs below, also this was an upgrade to the 6600 from a ati9250. I am thinking about going back to the ATI because it seemed render quicker. Though this card seems to be clearer with my monitor and the fonts are crystal clear. Also within sax2 I do not see a way to change the card to the correct model, it just shows options from with sax2.
linux:~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep GPU (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs (--) Chipset NVIDIA GPU found (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: Unknown (--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are supported on this GPU
I would vote against ATI with both hands (I would add the legs as well). Their support is awful (if any at all), and their linux drivers are worse than nvidia's. As an example, with ATI driver, you can not start a second X sever, i.e. you lose the possibility to switch users. It plain kills the machine and needs hard reboot. And this bug is recognized in their readme, and is pending there for more than 2 years (if I recall correctly). After I switched, I can not see any performance loss in 3D and 2D graphics. (I switched from Ati X800 to GeForse 5200). And I play Doom3 and Wolfenstein :)
Thank you for all your help Sunny. For some reason YAST loaded driver 1.07676. I decided to manually load the latest driver 1.08756 from the website and everything is great and it is alot better than my old card. Confused on what happened with YOU though I even used YOU to try and upgraded drivers but it always loaded that one. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elijah Savage | AOL IM:layer3rules Senior Network Engineer | When it has to be switched or routed. http://www.digitalrage.org | The Information Technology News Center ----- http://www.digitalrage.org/?page_id=46 for pgp public key--------
