Someone with an appropriate NVidia card want to do this? I think he's probably talking about NVidia's non-free driver(s). ----- Forwarded message from Andrew Kennedy <AKennedy@bursteinlabs.com> ----- From: "Andrew Kennedy" <AKennedy@bursteinlabs.com> To: <branden@deadbeast.net> Subject: GeForce2 divers for XFree86 4.x/Debian Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 15:46:00 -0700 Delivered-To: branden@localhost.deadbeast.net Delivered-To: branden@deadbeast.net Message-ID: <000a01c030b0$5e733600$6501a8c0@drewd> I was wondering if you could be kind enough to repackage the geforce2 drivers that are in RPM format into deb packages. I have had no luck getting them to install properly. GeForce2 cards really only support XFree86 4.x. I really love debian's advantages over other distributions but if I can't get X to run it is hard to say this is the right distibution. =) So the reality is that I am holding out for debian's XFree86 4.x release but in the meantime I want to play around with your test packages (which installed fine btw). Also, if you were going to do this could you make sure to package the SMP version also (I have 2 cpu's). Thanks, I really would appreciate if you did this. If not, I understand. Get the final out! =) Andrew Kennedy [1]http://www.nvidia.com/Products/OpenLinuxDwn.nsf/b99b7f622d429347882 568c800771b6c?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=2#2 References 1. http://www.nvidia.com/Products/OpenLinuxDwn.nsf/b99b7f622d429347882568c800771b6c?OpenView&Start=1&Count=30&Expand=2#2 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
