The latest drivers for Tesla C1060 have dropped support for the GeForce FX series and older. My current config uses two Tesla C1060s plugged into PCIEx16 slots and a GeForce FX 5200 in a PCI slot (for display). I managed to install the 177.73 drivers (on Ubuntu 8.10) for the C1060s and edit the xorg.conf file so that it uses open source “nv” drivers for the 5200. Ubuntu X starts fine with basic 2D acceleration, but when I start the NVIDIA X server tool, it reports that “You do not appear to be using the nvidia X driver…”. I could use some help editing the xorg.conf file to make both cards work together. Or better yet, is it possible to use both the legacy proprietary driver and the Tesla proprietary driver at the same time?
Below are the relevant sections of my xorg.conf file -
