for the nvidia card : this is “normal”
We’ve got a legacy driver for such card. You need a special package, so
what is your architecture ? i386, x86_64 , …?

The package is ready : (you need a persistent data file)
Add at the root of your usb stick this file : http://download.geexbox.org/releases/extra/i386/xf86-video-nvidia-legacy_173.14.30-1_i686.opk
boot on geexbox
switch to vt2
cd /.root
opkg remove xf86-video-nvidia
opkg install –force-overwrite xf86-video-nvidia-legacy_173.14.30-1_i686.opk
reboot
tell us if it works

Sorry, i not have a problème with wifi but forever the nvidia driver. I follow the howto for persistent data file but it dont work. After make the casper file and Mkfs.ext2…. And reboot geexbox dont use the persistant data file. On boot it always the 280.13 nvidia driver. And on the message it show : gpu instaled in this system is suported through the nvidia 96.43.xx legacy drivers. After make the persistant data i need setup other or just reboot?
My config:
Dell pression 530
Nvidia mx440 agp
Ubuntu and geebox installed on /dev/sda1 (not use a usb card)

Hello
I have the same problem or similar to fred2541. When I start via USB GeeXboX remains in the title screen. I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. I’ve tried what you said above:
“The package is ready: (you need a persistent data file)
Add at the root of your usb stick this file: http://download.geexbox.org/releases/extra/i386/xf86-video-nvidia-legacy_173.14.30-1_i686.opk
GeeXboX boot on
switch to VT2
cd /. root
opkg remove xf86-video-nvidia
opkg-force-overwrite install xf86-video-nvidia-legacy_173.14.30-1_i686.opk
reboot ”
but still not working.
Does it have to be a special driver? Did you have or you can tell me how?
thanks

to view the error at start edit the cmd on grub or other to launch geexbox. remove “quiet” to view log and modify “loglevel=3″ by “loglevel=5″. you can view the exact error and repost for help.
