• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fabio Erculiani 2006-06-04 05:49:00 UTC]

That's the device:
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2)

and that's my changes to get that autodetected:

Sorry, that's the correct diff:

I've added a modified version of this to CVS.  I do hope that you're not using the binary drivers, though, as it is a GPL violation to ship the binary drivers pre-compiled.

Fixed in 1.0.31
