\_ SMTP quoth Richard L. Proctor on 5/8/2003 08:13 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ Okay, Redhat 9.0 attempts to install with this video card,[...]
\_ 
\_ Also I see SuSE 8.2 Pro has listed the 5800 FX as supported, but
\_ the 5200 FX is not listed, and I would hate to upgrade only to find
\_ out that the 5200 won't work, and be back at square one.
\_ 
\_ Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts???

If you're ok with the NV drivers tainting your kernel, try this:

Install without X initially.  Install X libraries by hand.  Do not run
configurator beast.  Install the NV driver.  Tweak + Launch.

The newer XF86-Config-4 files are less scary than the previous
version.

YMMV.
