Linux and older ATI or nVidia cards
in [Linux Help]

From: JBJ (4920) on 11 Jul 2010 20:41 A small tip to those with older graphic card from either ATI or nVidia, try Mandriva One 2009. Where Unbutu 9.10 up to 10.04 would not work with 3D on my nVidia Vanta or ATI radeon 9100, Mandriva works just fine:) And Compiz Fusion works like a dream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandriva_One#Mandriva_Linux_One http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/iso/ Newer version, I have not tried it, is available from here http://www2.mandriva.com/downloads/one/ -- Mvh / with kind regards JBJ (4920)

He's not smart enough to install an Nvidia driver. I provided him a direct link to the proper driver for that card on the Nvidia website a couple of weeks ago, and he didn't respond or try it. Too hard for a Win- droid to do such a thing. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he harpooned Flipper.

I have an Nvidia card in a computer I bought about 7 or eight years ago (P4 2.4ghz) - I've never had a moment's problem with it in Ubuntu - which I've been running on it for about four years now.

Well, you see, "JBJ" is retarded, and unable to install the Nvidia driver. It's just too complicated for him. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
