<0> some XGI chips were used
<0> volari ones I believe
<1> Thunderbird: Fantastic
<2> AaronP: oh right... so nvidia makes the set of chips that go into a graphics card, and manufacturers buy them and put them in cards?
<0> someone posted about some board on the forum a while ago
<3> solemnwarning: WorksForMe
<4> zinx: Including everything such as 3d accel?
<3> solmnwarning: Yes
<4> What card?
<1> BCMM: Correct. They should all be fine with the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
<2> AaronP: so, for example, there are several companies manufacturing and marketting GeForce 6800 Ultras? Are they any different from each other?
<1> Yeah, different board manufacturers have different value-adds.
<3> solemnwarning: eVGA 7800 GTX 256MB ACS3, KN8 Ultra, Athlon 64 X2 4400+, 2G ram
<1> E.g., overclocking, bundled games, various cables, etc.
<5> nvidia binary drivers and xorg 7.1 not compatable yet?
<3> solemnwarning: that about cover it?
<0> differences exist in clockspeeds, features tv in ..
<1> zinx: Not yet.
<4> Yeah
<4> Although, what version of nvidia drivers are you using?
<3> 8762 at the moment
<4> thanks
<3> but some older drivers worked
<1> zinx: They'll work, but RenderAccel + antialiased text = no
<4> I'm running 7174 with my current AGP card
<3> AaronP: renderaccel is broke anyway, i thought
<1> You can work around it mostly by disabling RenderAccel.
<1> zinx: Works fine for me
<3> oh, you mean it was fixed in 8762
<2> AaronP: didn't know cause I've only ever had nvidia cards some with the machine... So I should choose a good nvidia card which people say works well with the Linux drivers then choose the manufacturer for it based on little things?
<3> BCMM: usually, yeah
<4> Will Linux work fine with PCI-E cards using SLI?
<1> BCMM: Any card should work fine with the Linux drivers.
<3> BCMM: they all have different cooling, different clock speeds, different quality, different support, etc
<0> not my old riva128 ;)
<3> "support" as in when you have a hardware problem w/ your card
<2> zinx: ah, different clock speeds... i guess balencing price and quality will take ages then
<3> solemnwarning: i believe so, but i don't know if the SLI performance is where the windows performance with SLI is yet
<2> AaronP: well, i know a few cards have some issues
<3> BCMM: yes, it will.
<2> is ATI like that too?
<4> I wonr be using dual SLI yet
<4> Was not sure if buying one SLI card for now would work ok
<3> BCMM: ATI does make their own cards, but there are third-party makers of ATI boards too, so it's not much different
<4> And buy a second one when I need it
<3> (actually, i think ATI's official cards are made by one of the 'third-party' companies)
<2> i'm certainly sticking with nvidia, but it'll take me ages to choose... still, i'm not gonna build the box till i can get one of the new intel CPUs, so i have time...
<5> anyone tried 8762 with xorg 7.1? what are the broken parts?
<6> renderaccel
<7> hednod: fonts
<5> anti-aliasing and render-accel?
<5> if one or the other is turned off it will work (until we get a updated nvidia driver?)
<7> after you disable render accel, there are still font issues with asian fonts for example
<5> being that i don't use asian fonts thats not a problem
<5> i just build xorg 7.1 without lookinig first and it would be a big pain to compile down to 7.0
<6> sounds like genpoo
<5> that it would be
<5> was moving desktop up from 6.8
<5> suppose i could roll back
<5> made a package =)
<5> any quick way to turn off font AA
<5> presumably in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
<8> i just installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run and ran startx, but i got two error messages: (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (a required submodule could not be loaded, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
<5> or the local.conf
<8> (i run debian/etch with x.org)
<8> there are two files in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers: nvidia_drv.o and .so
<8> and one /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1.0.8762 and a link to libglx.so
<8> what else could be missing?
<6> the part in the topic where it tells you to use your distro's package
<6> Bombo: ^^^^^^^^^^^^
<3> :D
<6> sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run --uninstall
<8> hmmm
<6> then pkg-whatever nvidia
<8> there is a deb? i didnt know
<6> surely you checked there first?
<3> Bombo: i had dpkg msg you instructions for after you --uninstall the .run
<8> xserver-xorg-video-nv - X.Org X server -- NV display driver
<3> no
<3> read the message dpkg sent you
