Suse 6.4 Prophet Geforce 32 meg ---> Prophet II Geforce 2 64 meg - > OOPS

Post by Sean McGrat » Mon, 19 Jun 2000 04:00:00



I have a Dell Precision 420, duel 866 p3, Suse linux 6.4, Hercules Prophet
Geforce 32 meg DDR card.

I installed the 3.x version of X with my Geforce, KDE and the like ran fine.

I upgraded my video card to a Hercules Prophet II, 64meg DDR card - NO JOY.
I get a distorted screen that requires a hard reboot.

I have tired upgrading to 4.0, changing the chipset from NV to "none" (in
sax), etc.  I can't figure it out.

When I run Sax I can the basic graphic screen SAX comes up in, but if I try
to test out any mode (even 640x480x16) I get a garbled display.

Can anyone give me some suggestions what to try next?

Thanks


 
 
 

1. Suse Linux and Hercules Prophet II 64 meg

Still grappling with trying to get X running with my new Hercules Prophet II
64 meg.

I had a Hercules Geforce Prophet with 32megs DDR - X ran fine (generic SVGA
server).  Nothing fancy but it worked.

Now I upgraded to the new 64 meg card and get a garbled display.

I have tried installing the nvidia 0.93 driver, but honestly don't know what
I'm doing.  I have no idea what to install where (linux newbie here).

Can anyone give me any hints on how to get this to work?

Thanks
