video cards

Hey Group;

I screwed up and bought a new NVidia card which turned out to be the 
current model number but old design.  It is not supported at all short 
of "nouveau".
And something is causing this new ASUS M4A87D MB/4Gig and GT440/2Gig 
PCI-E video card to lock up without any clue in /var/log.  It does it in 
openSuSE and Fedora and there is no driver at www.nvidia.com

Can someone suggest a diagnostic software program.  And maybe even a 
good video card.

What model is it?  (What does it say on the box)

The Nvidia driver ought to work for anything less than 5 years old.

If you Me then it is a GT440 with one electrolytic cap visible.  It 
works but NV has no file.run for it.  It works great here without the 
speed and 3D stuff that NV.run does.  It is real nice image at 1600x1200 
using nouveau (and likely DRM) and openSuSE 11.4

GX 440 video card

Hey Group;

I just found out something to pass along.  On this x86-64-4x plus a NV 
Geforce GT 440 video card I am on a 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-270.41.03-no-compat32.run.  It sure is faster! and 
works which is unsupported by NVidia.  I replaced nouveau and DRM 
modules by stripping them from the kernel 2.6.39.rc3.

It works maybe without all the bell but I will let it run and see.

Re: GX 440 video card

I am using a GeForce GTX 460, it is the PNY brand, but it seems to work 
so far. After 7 yrs my box went South. :o( I got a new one yesterday. 
Well I got the parts to build a new one. :o) No windoze tax.

Help Webscraping!

Can any one show me how to web scrape the "WAN IP ADDRESS" off of this web 
page?
http://www.tp-link.com/simulator/TL-WR941ND_v2&v3/index.htm

My router's web page is identical, so if you can show me how to webscrape this 
it will help me get dyndns going.

My problems is that the frames do not allow right clicking, so I can not get 
an url for just the middle frame. This makes it difficult to web scrape the 
info.

Thank You

If the use=web indclient (the default) is not fast as it gets your IP from a 
website. IF your router is ddclient unsupported and you want to get your 
external IP address from your router, then you must webscrape your router's 
builtin website.
