I have an FX 5200 too, and never had problems with it, I used to |
20 |
download and install the NVidia drivers from their site, but then I |
21 |
noticed that portage could handle it, so I just call "emerge |
22 |
nvidia-settings" (as it gets by dependency nvidia-kernel and |
23 |
nvidia-glx). Everything works. Have you tried following the NVidia |
24 |
Guide from the Gentoo Docs? |
