Did you try the "nv" and "nouveau" drivers for your current card? |

hello, |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I have a couple of old 32bit amd athlon XP systems: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
They have very old, no longer supported nvidia cards: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] && NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
All ebuilds that could satisfy |
| 18 |
"x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers" have been masked" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
These systems are used to run jffnms, postgresql rrdtool |
| 21 |
to show network devices and their status. Nothing fancy |
| 22 |
just 2D and kde. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
These cards were supported by the Nvidia legacy driver |
| 25 |
but now that's gone there is no support for these cards. |
| 26 |
So I guess I'd like to replace them with something that |
| 27 |
is open source on the driver, so as to keep support a long time. |
| 28 |
(perhaps an old ATI card?) |
| 29 |
I think they are AGP 4 motherboards. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I intend to use them for a long time as to drive a graphical |
| 32 |
display for network monitoring and management. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Any low cost suggestions are most welcome, particularly something |
| 35 |
that is open source on the driver, so I can keep them useful |
| 36 |
for a long time. |
