</div> This sounds like the card requires a legacy driver compiled.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>"Sounds like" ?? sounds like you are guessing. But there is no need to guess when you can read the documentation, which I have already pointed to very explicitly in this thread. At least for the version I have (195.36.24 == nvidia-current on mythbuntu 10.04) the 5200 is NOT supported. That's not a guess, it is in the readme file. The 5200 requires the 173.14 driver. <br>
