Fedora Core 1 / 5200 / No acceleration

[cghubbell]

Hello,

I'm running into problems getting an MSI GeForce 5200 to run on Fedora Core 1 (kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl). I have updated the XF86 config to use nvidea instead of nv, and I now get the Nvidia logo when X starts, so I'm inclined to think the driver is loading properly.

What I don't have is hardware acceleration. When I run glxgears I get ~ 6fps which is obviously not right. I have attached the X log and the X config. Hardware is an Athlon XP 2000. I'm happy to provide anything else which may be useful.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like I couldn't attach multiple files. The X log is attached to this note.

I just found this, but I have no idea what it means. The following is extracted from dmesg. I think I got it all - let me know if not...

Thanks again!

Ok, I just read through the many pages in another topice (most recent driver release posting) and see that everyone is having this issue. I installed the updated run file from one of the other posters out there and all is well. Hopefully an update to the linux driver download is coming so everyone can have success.

Thanks,
Chris
