Well checking the supported products, only the 7800GTX is supported, not |
| 22 |
the 7800GT. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The first drivers to include 7800GT support were version 77.77 (windows |
| 25 |
only release) to coincide with the release of the 7800GT (also on August 11) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Windows XP/2000 |
| 28 |
Version: 77.77 |
| 29 |
Release Date: August 11, 2005 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The latest Linux drivers were released 2 days prior to the 7800GT being |
| 33 |
available, therefore no support for that card. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Linux Display Driver - IA32 |
| 36 |
Version: 1.0-7676 |
| 37 |
Operating System: Linux IA32 |
| 38 |
Release Date: August 9, 2005 |
| 39 |
|

You would assume it would be fixed up in the next driver version, but |
| 41 |
that's no consolation. People have given benchmarks from a 7800GT on |
| 42 |
linux (gentoo even), but nothing on getting it to work. |

It does also mention the NVIDIA device files so I suppose you should |
| 46 |
check that as well. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
ls /dev | grep nvidia |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Should give these two results |
| 51 |
nvidia0 |
| 52 |
nvidiactl |
