Installing Fiesty on a Quadro 280NVS [nvidia quadro] [nvidia]

Q: So yes, I heard Fiesty came yesterday and I had an extra PC sitting around doing nothing, so I thought I will install and give it a try.

Everything went smoothly, but now Im trying to install / enable my ancient Quadro 280NVS. Ive searched all the forums talking about different cards, and I was wondering what I could do?

If I use the drivers limited use, does not allow me to go back to x (or whatever the GUI is called .)

Any ideas? a word of warning: If you help me

Just, you can be for the long haul . took me 5 minutes yesterday just looking for my MAC address: -/

Thanks for any help

Re:I had the PCI address of my video card set wrong (it was at default) but after that it's working great.

Which is why you shouldn't put it in there at all, unless you have multiple cards using the same driver and want different options for them there's no reason to specify the PCI address as X will find it just fine on it's own.

Re:Figured it out…actually, the Quadro 280 NVS is covered with the new drivers. I had the PCI address of my video card set wrong (it was at default) but after that it's working great. The system (P3 Coppermine 1GHz, 512MB SDRAM) can't really handle Desktop Effects or Beryl, unless anybody knows of any tweaks I can do…

Re:I would go to ubuntuforums.org and post the question there. A lot of the developers frequent those forums and a lot of experts using feisty.
