[For those of you who helped me before hand, sax2 wasn’t good enough, so I went with the one-click, aaaaand]
Version: 11.2 “Emerald” with KDE
Card: Nvidia FX 5200
Problem: After installing one-click (5xxx legacy drivers), I ran the nvidia-config command and rebooted. Upon reboot, I get a splash screen and then nothing but a monitor error - “Signal out of Range”
[Note: After googling this problem, I found a similar thread with an ATI, but since the difference between nvidia and ati is the same as perfect and ****, I didn’t that’d help :p]
You don’t need the ‘legacy’ driver. The legacy driver is for GeForce4 GPUs.
| x11-video-nvidia | NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce4 GPUs | package
| x11-video-nvidiaG01 | NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForceFX GPUs | package
| x11-video-nvidiaG02 | NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce 6xxx and newer GPUs | package
The ‘legacy’ driver have a serious issue while booting in vesa mode. X won’t start if the vga kernel parameter is used.
However the one you need is x11-video-nvidiaG01. (That one is OK with VESA mode). You could also have installed that package from the Nvidia repository.
There is no difference. They are both ****.
If I read your post correctly, that is what I installed. The one-click page lists the drivers as NVIDIA Legacy I (FX 5xxx)
So I do believe I have installed the GeForceFX drivers.
