Hello,
I am puzzled why I cannot use this graphics card with the nvidia
driver since nv(4) claims to support it.
I'm on the 5.9 release.
Starting X was falling back to the vesa driver so I wrote the
following to xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce 8400GS"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
With this file, X fails to start. Xorg.0.log reports "NV: skipping
unsupported device".
dmesg reports the device as "unrecognized product 0x10c3", which is the correct
PCI Device ID for the 8400 GS. Does kernel recognition matter for
devices that are
handled by X drivers?
What is happening? Can I do something different or am I stumped?
