Hi Chris, |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
as I don't use gentoo very often (I'm building my livecd on a gentoo in |
| 52 |
a vmware running on a Debian), I don't have think to report a bug, and |
| 53 |
I don't know which package to fill against. And as I've discovered this |
| 54 |
list, I have think it's the right place to discuss about this, and fill |
| 55 |
a bug after if needed. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I've run lspci on my running Debian and on my livecd after booting on |
| 58 |
it, and in both case, I get lowercase "nv". I have checked the pci.ids |
| 59 |
on my debian (pciutils_2.1.11-15.3_i386.deb) and I see "0040 nv40 |
| 60 |
[GeForce 6800 Ultra]" I just download the last version of pciutils |
| 61 |
(2.2.1) from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/utils/pciutils and I |
| 62 |
see "0040 nv40 [GeForce 6800 Ultra]" |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
So, I think that after all, not all nvidia cards use capitals :) |
