Reposting in correct thread: One thing I forgot to include in my previous post - be sure to read the documentation and look at NVidia's example XF86Config file (or whatever x.org calls it) - certain modules need to be disabled (dri, something else that I forget...). It's no big deal, since the nvidia module provides this functionality. -- Prentice ________________________________ From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Bisbal, Prentice Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 11:06 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] Switch to Nvidia from ATI If oyu really want to take advantage of the performance those cards have to offer, you should use the nvidia (that's the actual module name used by X) driver downloaded directly from NVidia. It makes a world of difference in performance, is easy to install, and is completely distribution neutral. It will work fine with XFree86 or X.org http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html -- Prentice ________________________________ From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of BRUCE STANLEY Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 11:01 AM To: Centos Linux Subject: [CentOS] Switch to Nvidia from ATI I am having some issues (e.g. System lock ups) with my ATI 9250 Video card. I am thinging about replacing it with either a Nvidia FX5200, FX5500, or a FX5600 card. Is anyone using one of these cards on Centos 4.1 with the stock (XORG) nv driver?
