    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

    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.
