</I>>><i> Ok, I just tested the driver packaged in Mageia 2 testing.
</I>>><i> The test is not positive.

</I>>><i> Papoteur
</I>><i> Hi Papoteur
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Did you also update ldetect-lst?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Testing procedure :
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 1. install ldetect-lst from core/updates_testing
</I>><i> 2. go to mcc -> hardware -> configure the graphical server
</I>><i> 3. it should now notify that there is a commercial/proprietary
</I>><i> driver available, answer yes to "do you want to use it"
</I>><i> 4. after it's installed, reboot and check that the new
</I>><i> driver is in use and working...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This needs the medias configured to be able to update from Testing
</I>><i> medias and then Core Updates Testing and Nonfree Updates Testing enabled.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The update enables nvidia173 and nvidia96xx nonfree drivers as
</I>><i> they now support the x11-server used in mga2. The card list has been
</I>><i> updated so cards should use the correct driver.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Claire
</I>><i>
</I>Hello Claire,
I followed your indications as above.
I get the nvidia driver working. :) (checked with lsmod)
I had a probem with the resolution, but this is perhaps related to the
monitor. I had to specify the resolution manually.
I did not see the problems that I had at my previous test.
