Wich driver is the one for me ?? Help !!

[dercos]

Hi all...
Sorry for the question but i can't seem to find the correct driver on linux for my nvidia card...

I have a geforce fx 5200 128 mb.... i've been looking in the drivers section everywhere, but cant seem to find wich one IS the correct one, since i had troubles installing the ones i have downloaded before....
can someone please give a link for the drivers of this card ??

Please help ??

Many thanks

[pe1chl]

You really need to be more specific. What troubles installing before? What Linux distribution?
The 5200 is still supported in the newest drivers.

[dercos]

thanks for the reply

well i think ive messed up with some ancient version of the driver before
i installed first NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run wich i think it wasnt this one becase got an error on some version diferent between nvidia kernel and xorg kernel....
after searching anoter time, i found that NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run is the one i have to install ? is this correct ?
well, the install went well, i think so, rebooted, gdm appeared fine, logged in... ok
oh im running Debian Etch on a athlon xp 2600+ 1 gb ram kernel version 2.6.18-5-k7

also have kernel 2.6.18-6-k7, still have to try on it, think will work the install too

BUT when i make glxgears on terminal to see if i have 3d accelaration i get some error like "segment violation". Im sorry its that my distro is in spanish and the error i get is in spanish as well, so i'm trying to translate it

can you please help or give an hint ??
if there is something more you need me to post please tell me..

once again thanks

[NvFuchs]

First of all: read the Sticky posts before posting here.
They are on top and should be read first.
We are answering the same questions about
twice a week here.

You should _not_ install the driver by hand.

Read

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490

Then:

In your Xorg.conf you are using

Driver "nv"

which is the open nvidia driver without any acceleration.

So: follow the instructions given abouve, read the README,
edit your xorg.conf accordingly. If it still doens't work:
read the other sticky thread on how to report problems
and act accordingly.

Thanks.

Fuchs

[dercos]

well ive changed Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" and deleted the entry load "dri" on xorg.conf, uninstalled nvidia-glx via synaptic and deleted the according files ... yes i read the stickys before and did it again, restarted x and everything seems to be fine... although when i try to run some games they do not load.......supposing that the driver i installed is the correct...

is there any way to check if 3d rendering is active or enabled ??
glxgears and glxinfo dont work.... is there other way ?


thanks again !

[NvFuchs]

glxinfo. It is supposed to work.
What are the error messages?

You can check with lsmod if the module is loaded,
or read the X11 log.

And if you did read the stickies you should know
that you are supposed to attach a nvidia bug report,
so we could read X11 error logs and dmesg ...

Would make things a lot easier.

Fuchs

[dercos]

well i've uploaded my nvidia-installer.log file
glxinfo doesnt work, the error i get is in spanish as i told before, my debian distro is in spanish : "Violación de segmento" means something like " segment violation "
dont know what it means

i think that the module is loade, if i type lsmod i get:

hey i would like to make things easy, but i dont know how to make a nvidia bug report, ive read the stickies, but cant find nvidia-bug-report.sh script...already done a search
hey im sorry im trying to do the best i can here, if you could tell how to do it ill upload here, its just that there are things about linux for me that take time to understand and sometimes things arent explained for the noob to understand... sorry. I'd like to help for you guys can help.

if its any help here's dmesg output: (ive reduced to the last part of it where comes out nvidia driver,... so if latter i make the report ill upload everything on it)

thanks one more time.... ill be waiting for directions

[NvFuchs]

Yes, this is a segmentation fault.
Happens when an application wants to get / write
on memory it shouldn't.

Hard to trace why this happens, usually this is either
a version / library conflict, bad RAM or bad programming.

In your case I guess it is a lib / version conflict,
between nvidia driver and nvidia OpenGL libraries.

The installation of the nvidia driver failed,
as you tried to run it while running X.

Either you install it with a debian package,
but then you have to install the correct glx package as well,
or you remove the left overs of the debian provided modules / libs,
stop the X server (either switch to a non-X runlevel
or stop xdm/gdm/kdm via the init script) and install it
with the nvidia-installer, which should install the driver
and the libraries, and the nvidia-bug-report script.

You probably have a semi-complete installation,
with a nvidia module but no openGL libs
and no additional nvidia scripts/software.

Fuchs

[dercos]

ok thank you very much
right now i get the picture on how things going
will be searching now on how to do what you said

switch to a non-X runlevel
or stop xdm/gdm/kdm via the init script

as soon i fix it ill post here the result.
thanks once more

cheers !

[dercos]

this is what i did:
close session
in gdm screen typed ctrl+alt+f1
went to command line
typed:
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run

begins installation but got some errors... couldnt create /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so.xlibmesa no such file or directory (among other 4 or 5 errors like this one)
oh well, installation proceeded...
finish
# /etc/init.d/gdm start
logged in ... all ok

let it work for a while and opened/switched windows and shows variation in fps

once again i include in this post nvidia-installer.log so that you can take a look if you please, there you can see all the errors im talking about. Will wait for your opinion

one more time, thank you very much
