Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-07-13 02:06:16 UTC
The 'nv' driver doesn't support the GeForce 2Go, unfortunately. We should
probably change the mapping.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2002-07-23 03:57:32 UTC
Oops, appears they reused the PCI id.

Can you post the lspci -vn output for the system?

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-14 04:12:53 UTC
We use vesa for various nvidia things now.

Comment 4 Jeff McClure 2002-08-27 18:51:40 UTC
I'm still getting this problem in the "null" beta release.  Can this bug be
re-opened, and I'll post more info.

Here's the output of "lspci -vn" under RedHat 7.3.  Let me know if you want me
to run the output from the "null" beta release.

It works fine on my Inspiron 8200 in the offical 8.0 release.  Good work Red Hat!
