Hi,
First of all, thanks for making geexbox. Great software. Now, I would like a Geexbox 2.0.1 version with the xf86-video-nvidia-legacy_173* driver included. I have a GeForce FX5500 and I know this driver works because I managed to install it in persistent storage through PXE Booting. The problem was that whenever I shutdown the system, it couldnt unmount casper-rw and subsequently it resulted in a corrupted filesystem.
I installed Geexbox 2.0.1 in a HDD and tried to do the same but it just gave me a shell screen when booting.
So, is there any way to make a custom image with this driver installed by default? Thanks.

if you have network up and running , do in a shell
opkg update
opkg remove xf86-video-nvidia
opkg install xf86-video-nvidia-legacy

The thing is I am using latest snapshot which uses noveau driver. xf86-video-nvidia isn’t installed. I tried to install xf86-video-nvidia-legacy and reboot but all I get is a lot of virtual terminals. Lsmod shows no video driver loaded.
Also when I installed legacy driver I had to -force-overwrite libGl.so.1 that was being provided by mesa driver, is it OK?
Do I have to use an old image? Do I need an image that still uses xf86-video-nvidia?

you say you use 2.0.1 which it’s not a devel iso …
for devel iso and x86-video-nvidia-legacy, use 14078 devel iso : http://download.openbricks.org/
install it with force-overwrite option

Sorry, I’ve tried a lot of images…
I could make it work with 2.0.1 but Shutdown doesn’t work.
I tried 14078 but this image doesn’t have xf86-video-nvidia. I tried to install legacy driver using opkg and also downloading it from the folder where the image is stored, but none works. It just hangs in Probing Video Card or something like that. I’ve to say that after I booted for the first time after installing r14078 and then installing using “opkg update; opkg install …” it worked for that time (after reboot it didnt work) but in Black and White. With 2.0.1 I have colour.

So, is there a way to fix the shutdown problem in 2.0.1? Or… which is the last build that uses xf86-video-nvidia, so that I can change it for legacy driver? As I said before r14078 uses Nouveau and if I install legacy driver it doesn’t work.

the nvidia-legacy are broken with xorg 11.3, i’m waiting for a new release …
(and i need this driver too ), the only way is too downgrade xorg to 10.4
on one off my personal pc, i use 14044 with nvidia legacy , and it works pretty well, so try this one (don’t forget to restart with a clean casper-rw

It works! I installed it to a HDD. I’ll keep checking for a new release with the newest Xorg, but this one works. Many thanks.
