Hello,

I have a problem starting X and in Xorg.0.log there is the following lines. Is 
it a driver error ? It's an integrated graphic card on the MB providing both 
vesa/hdmi outputs. Could you please help ?

(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 02@00:00.0
(WW) NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0849 (GeForce 8200) at 02@00:00.0
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Is there noway to solve this with existing software, such as a compatible but
limited driver ?

nivida really isn't supported at all.  Not their video boards, not the
chipsets etc.  just don't buy nvidia it is crap hardware to boot.

Have you called up nvidia?  You have a support contract, right?

I believe vesa though limited in capability, should work as a
standard on all cards, atleast in theory. It'll be better and a lot
easier just to use a different card though.

If nvidia get enough requests maybe they'll followsuit of AMD and Intel
and opensource they're drivers, but I think they're happy with they're
status on Windows and Linux at the mo.

Not yet, I decided to do something else to solve my problem actually. However
it's more interesting, but there's not so much details to say here at the
moment.

I dive into OpenBSD and find out how much work there was done on it.

Thanks to all developpers.

You can also check the source code to see if something is supported;
e.g.:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/driver/xf86-video-nv/src/nv_driver.c?re...
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/drm/radeon_drv.h?rev=1.32
