Dear aptosiders,
After compiling and installing the latest versions of 3.0.1x kernel on my aptosid with kde full. I can’t install my nvidia geforce card anylonger. My nvidia is the following:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 A-LE] (rev a1). Someone else has some hints to install it? I have read the aptosid manual but the procedures indicated there, all failed.Nothing changes for me, all the same.I have read and I tried this warning at http://aptosid.com/index.php?module=wik ... g=GoNvidia
But I didn’t get through! Is there another way like to use the towo repository? Do I have to
use the debian way like this at http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I appreciate your helpful hints.
Cheers.

The problem is the proprietary driver Nvidia, which is not ready for latest Xorg yet. This is not the first time this happens, and it will happen again. We are unable to fix this ongoing problem (because it's closed source), it is up to the manufacturer to do so.
Do you really need this driver? The free and open source driver Nouveau does just fine with GF6200 cards, the HowTow you already linked in the wiki is correct. If you have problems with the steps described there, please let us know in detail.
Greetings,
Chris |

Hi, slam!
Do you really need this driver? No, I don't.
Do you have problems with the steps described there? yes, I tried but I didn't get through. If you could help me with the steps I'd appreciate too.The commands didn't work at all.
cheers

| As far as I can recall when I switched to nouveau following the wiki guidelines the following command failed:
Code:
apt-get purge ^nvidia* ^libnvidia* xserver-xorg-video-nv
because xserver-xorg-video-nv was already removed from my system. Maybe the command should be split in two commands:
Code:
apt-get purge ^nvidia* ^libnvidia*
apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nv
Best Regards
Sordon |

dear buddies,
I am still in doubt because
another guy explained to me another way to install the noveau as follows:
quotation:
"...Nouveau is used by default, the user has nothing to do for using it.
Nvidia is easyest installed by
apt-get install nvidia-glx
"Using Nouveau after using binary blob is
apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/{print $2}') && rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
and a reboot".

Otto, the wiki is about HoTow change from nv or nvidia to nouveau on already installed systems, and it describes the method we support. It's content is tested and aproved by several Aptosid devs, so there is no need to ask "another guy".
Yes, nouveau is default and already working out of the box on the recent release.
Greetings,
Chris |

Thanks, slam.I don't underestimate the aptosid support. I know you have a top qualified support here. I have no doubt of it.This is the reason I am ever here and I follow you for years since the sidux. But I was in trouble to install it.I don't know it's my hardware because I followed all the the method you taught me but It failed earlier.I will try again later on.
cheers.

I have tried nouveau before, (every time nvidia has had serious personal problems), and the video response was "sluggish", for lack of a better word. I tried again today, and it seems a bit better.
That said, the method outlined worked flawlessly on my laptop. Now, my desktop might be tougher, I have tried multiple times, and it has just not worked. I plan to try again one of these days.
Code:
Host/Kernel/OS "dv9000" running Linux 3.0-4.slh.3-aptosid-686 i686 [ aptosid 2011-02 Ἡμέρα - kde-full - (201107131633) ]

If you have a pretty new video card in your desktop nouveau might not really work well, as support for the newer cards is not yet quite complete |

Very sluggish with a nVidia GF106 [GeForce 450 GTS], why I try to avoid nouveau, (main box) although it works pretty good on a nvidia 7900 |
