Anybody using NVidia Geforce TI 4200

[valent]

Please tell me how you made Nvidia GeForce 4200 Ti to work because I'm having issues using this graphic card
I install latest nvidia drivers and switch from "nv" to "nvidia" driver and then X fails to start

I have LCD 1280x1024 display. Here is my xorg.conf - http://fpaste.org/paste/768

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Valent.

Valent,

which driver did you install?
I have a Geforce 4200TI running on my MD. Thats good enough for UI1, video & Co.

I had to edit the xorg.conf and use nv as a driver.
After the avwizard and sara showed up, i could ssh into my MD without a password. Then i copied the Nvdia driver tp my MD, and follow the how To to install a video driver on a MD with telinit 1 in the ssh shell and install the driver locally.
Nvidias 96.43.07 worked out for me and i can run my MD @ 1600x1200.

Thank you for your reply,
I installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run package with nvidia 96.43.07 driver. But X fails to start when I edit my xorg.conf and put nvidia instead of nv driver.

Could you please share your xorg.conf and even if possible add an entry in wiki pages that this card works with UI2 - that would be very helpful. If I got it working I'll put on wiki makes a mini howto.

Cheers from Croatia,
Valent.

You need to start by reviewing the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to find out why X s failing...
