[Nouveau] Nouveau Digest, Vol 104, Issue 60, GV-N430OC-1GL is needed to work under kernel 2.4
Hello! I have very old distributive (RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.8-20). One important program works on it with graphical user's interface. (X11 works, KDE works.) But this hard disk (IDE) is very old. Due of that my task now is to clone this system to another (more modern, SATA) hard disk. I have connected to this motherboard new disk (SATA) with Windows-7. I have download from the official RedHat's site the most similar distributive (Enigma, kernel 2.4.7-10) and created a virtual Linux-machine under Windows-7. When installing RedHat's distributive I have selected "Skip X configuration" because my videocard was absent in card's list. But X11 is needed for work. I tried to install X11 from rpm-packet from this distributive Enigma: rpm -ivh XFree86-Servers-3.3.6-42.src.rpm Packet is installed, config file XF86Config is created, but I changed it by the same file from disk-original. Now when I type "startx" I get messages: (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes ................................. (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screen found ................................. and X-server doesn't start. So I have one system which works and the second system which doesn't work. On the same hardware. Please, help me by hints: 1). what I did wrong? 2). what should I do now? Thanks. P.S. My videocard is named GV-N430OC-1GL and I tried to find Linux-drivers for it. There are only enough modern drivers (for kernel 2.6) on the NVIDIA's site. I think nobody will make drivers for kernel 2.4 now. Due of that what driver I should to use? VESA? SVGA?

[Nouveau] Nouveau Digest, Vol 104, Issue 60, GV-N430OC-1GL is needed to work under kernel 2.4

Ideally it should support vesa though. Either way, I don't think this is related to nouveau -- nouveau first became available in kernel 2.6.36, while you are on the considerably older 2.4 series. Good luck! -ilia
