Hello

i can't get working RIVA TNT2.
/proc/pci says that it sees:
nVidia Corporation NV5 (RIVA TNT2/TNT2 PRO)

I don't have such problems with Geforce2* cards.

I installed 2.6.9 kernel with options:
CONFIG_FB_RIVA=m
CONFIG_FB_RIVA_I2C=y
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y

When i startx i receive errors (the same as /var/log/Xorg.0.log):

(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"

Fatal server error:

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
          at http://wiki.X.Org
  for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.

Where might be the problem ? Anybody worked with this card ?

Thanx
Michal
