nVidia GeForce 6100 + nVidia nForce 430: Linux display

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/nvidia-geforce-6100-nvidia-nforce-430-linux-display.19341/

I recently bought a new motherboard and processor for my PC:
Motherboard: gigabyte technology motherboard with nvidia Geforce 6100 video card
Processor: AMD Athlon 3200+

Windows XP is working fine on the PC but when I installed Fedora Core Linux on the sytem the sound and graphics are giving problems. For graphics I ended up using the generic VESA driver and the display is OK but I guess that proper drivers will help improve the performance.

Can anyone give me pointers to where I can download the proper drivers for this graphics configuration. I tried the latest nVidia display drivers but they do not work.

Thanks,

nForce and nVidia graphics drivers for linux is available from nvidia. Visit this page and download appropriate driver. The install guide is given inside the package. *www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

I myself have 6600GT card on Neo4 Mobo, and I installed nVidia drivers on FC3 for them without any trouble.

I had tried just that but as soon as I change my Xorg.conf as per the README.txt and start my X server the screen goes blank. Even the consoles are gone, I have no option but to reset the system. Nothing gets logged into the Xorg.log file either. Anyway I can understand what is going wrong?

one question.... How is the overclocking options in your board???

not tried overclocking but I finally managed to get my display working with the nVidia Drivers. NVIDIA has just released the drivers for this card. You can find the same here
