Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 AGP 8x card issues

**coldraven** · November 7th, 2017

Trying to get some life out of an old desktop I bought the card in the title. I did a fresh install of Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.2. The PC is dual core at 2Ghz with 4GB memory.
When selecting an image as wallpaper the background goes entirely cyan or white. After a reboot the wallpaper image is correctly displayed. Some other programs have an all white dialogue box.
Rather than waste a lot of time I'd rather just install a distribution that can display properly. I also tried booting a Kubuntu Live DVD but that too had display issues. Any ideas?

P.S. I put this here in case anyone is using Windows 7
I shrank the 1TB drive into halves and did a fresh install of Win7. I then discovered that NVidia does not support this card for Win7. After a lot of searching I saw a suggestion of using the Vista drivers. The NVidia 64bit Vista driver installed and works fine in 1440 x 900 mode.

coldraven; Hey, hey ..

That card will take the legacy 304 driver :
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html

So, what do you see in the boot dialog when replacing quiet splash with nomodeset as a kernel boot parameter ?

What driver is presently loaded ?

Code:

lsmod | grep -i nouveau
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
sudo lshw -C display

got to be a reason

Hi Bashing-om, with nomdeset in grub i get a big notification on the top right of the desktop. It says "Running in software rendering mode, blah blah, high CPU usage, blah blah, problem with drivers"
Rebooting without nomodeset:

Code:

lsmod | grep -i nouveau
nouveau              1601536  4
mxm_wmi                16384  1 nouveau

drm                   352256  7 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper

Code:

lsmod | grep -i nvidia

returns nothing

Code:

sudo lshw -C display

In the meantime I will search for how to install the Nvidia legacy driver, thanks for replying.

Edit:You think it's the 304 driver butfrom the link to Nvidia in your post it's showing the 173.14xx driver
From a search on the Nvidia site where they unhelpfully don't use the same labels (is it a FX 5000 series????) it returns driver 384.98

Call me confused!

coldraven; Ouch ;

You are so correct in that it is the 173 version driver .. And the bad news is that it no longer has any support .
The nouveau driver is all that is available ; and is installed.

Maybe time to upgrade the graphic's card ? ( I did, nvidia GTX710 on an old AMD CPU ) .

384 driver is suitable for the latest generation nvidia cards !

-A new card will bring new life-

Thanks for clearing that up, I stupidly bought the card without first checking. I'm surrounded by dead computers, I think I'll take them all to the dump!
I will mark this as solved, at least I managed to get Win7 working.

Have you tried Lubuntu 17.10?

I did try booting with it but did not install it. (It looked OK) My intention was to give this PC to someone who is only familiar with Windows, that's why I wanted Mint.
If I do a full install I will post back with the results.

**mörgæs** · November 9th, 2017

If you have lots of old stuff then Lubuntu should be the first distro to install. Much lighter than Mint.

Well if anyone returns here I did install Lubuntu 17.10. It plays Youtube videos OK but still the nouveau driver does not do hardware rendering.
Here's a snip from hard_info report

Code:

-Display-
Resolution        : 1440x900 pixels
OpenGL Renderer        : Unknown

and the result of

Code:

$ sudo lshw -C display

ATM I cannot afford a better video card.
Maybe the best if I pull out this HDD and replace it with one that has Win7 on it.
