#26 "no supported card found" error for 6600gt in suse 9.3

[mike_gold]

Hello,

after installing nvidia drivers everything seemed to be
Ok. sax2 showed "nvidia", KDE worked, etc. nvtv, on the
contrary, said "Fatal: No supported video card found."

lspci output gives following:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia
Corporation: Unknown device 0140 (rev a2)

is this correct or do i have a probem here?

in any case, nvtv refuses to start giving out this
error message.

my config:
asus a8n (nForce4) / amd 3200+
asus gf6600 gt
suse 9.3

thanks in advance!

you can try this procedure:
do an lspci and check the line with your nividia cards:

[root@node34 src]# lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)

now get the PCI id:
[root@node34 src]# lspci -n -v | grep "01:00.0"
01:00.0 0300: 10de:00f1 (rev a2)

"00f1" is the number wanted.
Get the source of nvtv, and edit the src/xf86PciInfo.h and add at line (520 for example):
#define PCI_CHIP_GEFORCE6600 0x00f1

now line 1386 add:
{PCI_CHIP_GEFORCE6600, "GeForce6600 6600GT",0},

now save the file, and build nvtv, your card should be recognised, and it should works.
