New NvidiaFX 5900 card problems

[Darkmiss]

Hello people

I just bought myself a new Nvidia Msi Geforce FX5900 256meg graphics card.
But now I'm not seeing any ring shadows on saturn.

i tried to switch between the shader settings but after pressing CTRL-v twice, Celestia crashes.

Is there any new settings I should know about please ?

or any sugestions ?

I was running with a Geforce 4ti4600 4xAGP 128meg
With Detonator 53.03's
and all was fine with this setup.

You forgot to mention that you're running Celestia v1.3.2pre8

The updated shader programs accidentally were omitted from pre8. You need to download them from SourceForge and put them in the /shaders/ folder. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/celestia/celestia/shaders/?sortby=date#dirlist

Download these 5 files:

bumpdiffuse_nv.fp
diffuse_nv.fp
sample_nv.fp
texphong_arb.vp .
texphong_nv.fp

they're at the top of the list if you use the url above.

p.s.
You also need to update your graphics drivers to 56.72 or later.

Thank you Selden my old friend.
This I will do as soon as possible.

I thought I had covered everything, but yes i am useing Pre8

The thing with the latest Detonator drivers is
the last time I installed ones above 53.03, most of my screen resolutions had disapeared, i couldn't choose 1152x864.

but that was on my Ti4600 card so hopfully it might have changed by now
Right im off to update and enjoy Saturn some more

Thank you once again

[Darkmiss]

Thank you Selden, all is working perfect again.
I though it may have been somthing to do with the shaders.

Paul,

You may be caught between the proverbial rock and the hard place. The FX cards really do need the newest drivers although some older features don't work anymore. (I'm particularly annoyed about how dual monitors are handled now. I wound up disabling my smaller, lores, secondary screen.)
