I have a older card too, FX-5200 I think it is, and it seems to work |
| 49 |
fine. I use nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 and it works fine but maybe mine |
| 50 |
is new enough to still be supported. Looks like it would stay in the |
| 51 |
tree if it is the only driver that supports older cards. Sort of confused. |

I have read about this before either on this list or on the forums. You |
| 54 |
searched the archives yet? I'm clueless. I never had trouble with |
| 55 |
nvidia drivers like this. |
