How to install NVIDIA Geforce 4 and SoundMAX audio on woody ?
Hi,
I am trying to install Xfree86 v.4.1 (woody/debian v3.0) on a dell
Dimension 4500 PC which comes with a NVIDIA GeForce 4 video card.
However xf86 fails with "no device detected" and scanpci reports
and "unkown NVIDIA" device.
How can I get my PC to recognise the card. Are there any modules that
need to be compiled into the kernel for the detection to take place ?
I am trying to upgrade xfree86 to the experimental 4.2 version
available on branden's web page. However aptitude dose not allow
me to remove the hold on version 4.1, and I can't seem to figure
out why. So I tried a apt-get upgrade x-window-system (after adding
the corret apt line for branden to source.list). However the
xserver is still 4.1 , though it did download and install new version
of XFree (I forgot to pay attention to the version it was downloading).
The other problem is with the integrated SoundMAX sound card. Could
you please tell me what drivers to use for these. i810_audio does not
work ! . I am not using ALSA or OSS, do I need to ?
If I have missed any relevant info I would greafully post. I avoided
posting the xfree86 log and scanpci output since large mails usuall
don't go through this mailing list.
