[TriLUG] help with PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 128MB Video Card

[Brian Henning]

I just realized that I will be in a similar situation soon..  I have the
same card, which is currently working perfectly (read: as well as it does
under Windows... 3D stuff likes to routinely lock up in either platform..
still trying to track down the source..  already have new mobo..) under the
FC1 2.4.something kernel..  I suppose I shall bolster myself for irritation
when I upgrade to FC2 with its 2.6.something kernel..  But I want 2.6 for
its bt support..  Oh the dilemma!

I'll be sure to post if I uncover any magic formulas to get it to work.
