[Mageia-dev] Please help testing nvidia on Mageia 2 with older cards

[Claire Robinson]

Hi

If you have any of the older nvidia cards listed here:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7902#c31

Could you please help by testing an update candidate for ldetect-lst and
the two older drivers. Update ldetect-lst can be found in Core Updates
Testing and the nvidia drivers are both in Nonfree Updates Testing.

You will need to be able to update from the testing medias
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Enabling_the_Testing_media#Enable_them_the_easy_way

and then enable them only to update the packages listed on the bug
report, it will probably ask you to update rpmdrake first which is safe
to do (we've been using it in QA for a few months). When you've updated
only the packages listed on the bug please disable the two Testing
medias again.

Please leave any comments on the bug report, include information on the
graphics card installed and whether you tested with an x86_64 or i586
installation.

Many thanks
Claire (MrsB)
