I have started looking into upgrading my existing R7.4 install to the latest R8. Reading over the Wiki for
Upgrading, and the New
R8 Features I have a few questions before I take the leap.
My current Frontend/Backend is based around the once popular
Asus M2NVP-VM. The one issue that I noticed is that R8 now only has drivers for Nvidia 8xxxx series, gt2xx and later video cards. The M2NVP-VM only has a GeForce 6150. I am only using this system as a backend, but I like having the Frontend to check things.
I chanced the install on a NEW hard drive. After getting the ISO to write correctly to a USB stick (more later) I was able to boot up R8 Menu. The issue arose during the initial bootup after selecting to Install R8. My system hangs at installing the
NVidia drivers.
Dropping into another terminal, and logging in as Mythtv (no password) the X11 log has an error about no display being found.
Is it possible to get "older" drivers onto USB stick, or is there another method to install the required drives for the GeForce 6150.
