Has anyone with an nvidia video card had issues with CentOS 5 so far? I've been holding off on installing 5 at home because of the trouble I've been having with my video here at work, but here I have that lovely ATI card and there I have a geFORCE 7100gs and am, so far, successfully using the nvidia driver with CentOS 4.4 without significant problems. Just wondering.... -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax

I'm using the stock nv driver that came with Centos 5. For CentOS 4, I had to recompile the driver. Not anymore. I'll update whether I see any problems down the road but seems ok so far. If I check video card information in Display Settings, it says nv model is for GeForce, nForce, and QUADRO cards. nv never used to work for me for CentOS 4 so don't take this to mean it'll necessarily work with your GeForce card.
