Geforce 5200- How to get knoppix to recognize it

**Dosmaen** · 04-17-2004, 04:25 AM

Do you know how I can get the driver files for my geforce 5200? Also, I've been having troubles trying to get my resolution above 640x480, but I think that ties in with me not having the drivers.I tried using the search thing at the top, but the link to the driver installer was broken. I also attempted to install the Nvidia Graphics Driver from an installer program listed in the FAQs, but to no avail.

Thanks for your time!

I know it's detecting my card, on boot up it mentioned "GeForce FX 5200 PCI 128mb" which is my card, but how do I turn on the hardware acceleration on?

Well, good news. I got it working!
I was just under the impression that someone had written drivers specifically for knoppix, but they had universal linux drivers on the website.
