OK I know this may have been ask before but I'll will again for the sake of my time.... sorry
I got the Nvidia Geforce 9800GT and need to know which Nvidia driver I need to download from community for it to work.
Also any thing special I need to do for this particular card, and is it better to download the run file from Nvidia web site?
TIA.

Try 177.80.
It's better to use a pkgbuild, then files don't get overridden.

Thanks but that did not work... I must be missing a setting.

Well after endless trying It finally worked. kernel 2.6.27 and X.Org 7.4 did the trick.
well the actual problem is that the TV card won't play nice with the video card, They only work well under a 64 bit version.
maybe some resource or interrupt problem conflict that 32 bit can't handle.
Thanks .
