Hello, I have two problems:
1) Identify my card
2) Error message at dumping
1) It seems to me that I have a special version of the GeForce4 420 Go
32M because my card is a GeForce4 440 Go 64M but both have the same PCI
device id. Is this important for the development of the renouveau driver
or is this already noted?
Outputs:
lspci
[...]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440
Go 64M] (rev a3)
lspci -n
[...]

Nvidia Driver: 1.0.8776-r1
2) I want to report following error message. I want to dump my card with
KoalaBR's script. The complete output (after answering yes):
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

? - That you don't move the renouveau window ?
? - That you don't hide the renouveau window behind ?

mkdir: kann Verzeichnis "cards" nicht anlegen: Die Datei existiert

Device detection failed.
Please report the above error. Press return to continue
Is there already a solution?

But this is solved myself (the reason for this error is that I run the script a second time without deleting the directory cards or rmtmp.

I'm sorry, all my problems are solved for now. forget problem 1) in my mail. (I had the message that my card is a GeForce4 420 Go 32M by lspci one time, but now the nessage is correct, I don't know why. But the GeForce4 420 Go 32M has the pci device id 0176 and my card 0179. As soon as I know why I get different messages I mail again.)
