Megatron1983 · 01-10-04, 09:57 AM

After installing the driver properly and running SAX 2, it always gives me the message that the VESA Framebuffer device is being used like no driver from nVidia was ever installed.
This happens ALWAYS except for when I manually set the nVidia driver to be used with the command sax2 -m 0=nvidia

The nVidia Splash screen shows up then, however, no 3D support is available (I know it cant be activated as its a driver issue according to nvidia readme, however it should still work) and all games (tux racer etc.) i test it with complain about no 3D card available and switch to ultra slow software rendering.
