Hello,
I just bought a Dell Vostro 200, and I purchased a separate Nvidia GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card. I installed Ubuntu 8.10, and I installed the graphics card myself.
Once I booted up, It doesn't even see the graphics card. I try to install the latest driver from nvidia (177, and 180 beta), and it says I don't have an nvidia card.
I put the card in the PCI slot, and I figured that Linux would at least be able to recognize it.
here's a cat of lspci and lsmod:

Any ideas as to why it isn't recognizing my card, and why I can't install the drivers?
PS - on a side note, the manual for the card said that I could get 'improved performance' by plugging in a 6-hole power cord coming from the power supply into the card. The tower does not have any more plugs coming from the power supply (all used). this isn't the only power provided to the card, right? Just thinking of why the card isn't even recognized under lspci...
thanks in advance.
