Unknown model - inno3d 7600gt agp

brazso · 08-13-08, 03:49 PM

By chance I have found that my new Inno3d 7600GT AGP card is not identified neither in /var/log/Xorg.0.log file nor in /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 if the latest 173.14.12 driver is used. I just checked that using the old 96.43.07 driver, the same card is recognized flawlessly.

in 96.43.07:

/proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model: GeForce 7600 GT

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 7600 GT at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)

in 173.14.12:
/proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model: Unknown

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to determine GPU name
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Unknown (Unknown) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)

In fact I have not experienced any problem due to the unrecognized card, I just wish to report the phenomena. By the way, as an owner of a 7600gt (agp) card, is it worth using the latest drivers (optimized to newer cards) or is it better to use the drivers under 100.0.0?

Best regards,
Brazso

Same here with a Innovision 7300GT card.

maybe 100.xx and newer don't support AGP?

@hussam: your card is supported, even if the model name is reported as 'Unknown', which I'll look into. However, 173.14.xx is intended as a legacy driver series for use with NV3x GPUs, please use a more recent release.

I'm using the 185.18.29 driver now which works very nicely apart from the "unknown" thing.

hi zander. Any update on this issue? It still happens with 190.42

@hussam: I apologize for taking so long to get back to you; I just checked the status of the bug filed a while ago to address this problem, and it looks like it should finally be fixed (for good, hopefully) in upcoming 195.xx series drivers.

This is indeed fixed in 195.30 Thank you so much zander
