Subject: [gentoo-user] What version of nvidia-drivers to use with FX5200?

1 I can't seem to find an nvidia driver version that works with a
2 PCI FX5200. Versions later >= 173.15 don't support the 5200
3 series. I tried several 173.14.xx versions, and they all build
4 and the nvidia module loads, but Xorg dies with an illegal
5 instruction signal when it starts. (Xorg runs fine with the
6 "nv" driver.) I'm trying the 100.14.19 driver, but so far, I
7 can't get it to compile. I've tried 2.6.27 and 2.6.25 kernels,
8 and the nvidia module fails to compile with them. I'm trying
9 2.6.24 next, but it takes so long to build kernels on a 400MHz
10 box that the trail and error approach is pretty frustrating.

12 Is there a database somewhere of what nvidia driver versions
13 work with which kernel versions and which boards?
