The problem: When lspci tells that NVIDIA CARD IS: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41.8 [GeForce Go 6800] (rev a2) /sbin/livecd-functions.sh fail at line : if [ -n "${NVIDIA_CARD}" ]; then if [ $(echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2) -ge 4 ]; then nv_gl else no_gl fi else no_gl fi Because the integer comparision -gt between 41.8 and 4 fail. We need to change: echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2 in: echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2 | cut -d. -f1 So the problem is solved. I suggest to test things with RV100 too (and Radeon cards in general).
Correction: fix for NV11DDR too NVIDIA_CARD=$(echo ${NVIDIA} | awk 'BEGIN {RS=" "} /NV[0-9]+/ {print $1}') if [ -n "${NVIDIA_CARD}" ]; then # fix for NV41.8 (for example) nv_test=$(echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2 | cut -d "." -f 1 | sed 's/ //') # fix for NV11DDR (for example) nv_test_count=$(echo $nv_test | wc -m) if [ "$nv_test_count" -gt 3 ]; then nv_test=$(echo $nv_test | cut -c 0-2) fi if [ $(echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2 | cut -d "." -f 1 ) -ge 4 ]; then nv_gl else no_gl fi else no_gl fi
WORKING VERSION: if [ -n "${NVIDIA_CARD}" ]; then # fix for NV41.8 (for example) nv_test=$(echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2 | cut -d "." -f 1 | sed 's/ //') # fix for NV11DDR (for example) nv_test_count=$(echo $nv_test | wc -m) if [ "$nv_test_count" -gt 3 ]; then nv_test=$(echo $nv_test | cut -c 0-2) fi if [ "$nv_test" -ge 4 ]; then nv_gl else no_gl fi else no_gl fi
Any chance you could have that as a patch, rather than a complete function? I'm also not really sure why you added so much extra code. All we need to know, at all, is that the NV version is above NV4, which is the lowest card supported by the drivers *usually* on the CD. I'm going to have to come up with a newer detection method for the newer drivers that have dropped legacy support.
That was not my code. I have only found that the (bloated) script does not work with NV41.8 and NV11DDR.
What are you talking about? The script is extremely concise. Besides that, what does the NVidia detection have to do with Radeon cards? At any rate, it looks like I have a single line fix that will work for both cards. Could you post the output of "lspci" as a text/plain attachment to this bug?

*sigh* I asked for it as an attachment. Thanks for following directions. Yes, I understand that there is a card called NV11DDR, as I'm not an idiot and can follow a simple conversation. I *am* the developer of livecd-tools, and I don't have a clue where you got the impression that I was even insinuating that you are in any way tied to the package.
Created attachment 72840 [details, diff] Fix for NV41.8 and NV11DDR
So I made a simple one line change that works for both of these cards. My whole point was that you're adding a ton of code for what is essentially a simple fix. diff -u -b -B -r1.13 livecd-functions.sh --- livecd-functions.sh 16 Aug 2005 19:02:33 -0000 1.13 +++ livecd-functions.sh 13 Nov 2005 21:56:03 -0000 @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ NVIDIA=$(echo ${VIDEO_CARDS} | grep "nVidia Corporation") ATI=$(echo ${VIDEO_CARDS} | grep "ATI Technologies") if [ -n "${NVIDIA}" ]; then - NVIDIA_CARD=$(echo ${NVIDIA} | awk 'BEGIN {RS=" "} /NV[0-9]+/ {print $1}') + NVIDIA_CARD=$(echo ${NVIDIA} | awk 'BEGIN {RS=" "} /NV[0-9]+/ {print $1}' cut -d. -f1 | sed 's/ //' | sed 's:[^0-9]::g') if [ -n "${NVIDIA_CARD}" ]; then if [ $(echo ${NVIDIA_CARD} | cut -dV -f2) -ge 4 ]; then nv_gl At any rate, I've added this into livecd-tools, so it'll show up in 1.0.27, when it is released.
great. Thank you very much.
1.0.27 is in portage
