GeForce 7800GT Xorg Driver

I've tried using the "nv" driver for my GeForce 7800GT (PCI-E) but it simply starts up and freezes on me with a corrupt image of my fluxbox desktop. Vesa driver works fine.

I think the nv driver only supports up to the GeForce FX series. At least that's what I've experienced.

Is there a reason why you havecan not install the official NVIDIA driver? There is an article on the Wiki about it.

Yeah, if you have that thing, you should really get the official driver. The 'nv' driver doesnt support hardware acceleration.
