Has anyone had an problems with the nvidia driver on the GForce 2MX? I have tried several of the latest XFree86 versions and several of the latest kernels. When I start X I get just a blank screen that requires a reboot to clear. I can log in remotely though. I look in the X and kernel logs and I see no errors. I have a dual processor snakebite machine.
I have had this working before but I broke it or something else changed. On a side issue, I am thinking about getting an ATI based card for my Mac since ATI seems more open with their driver info. What model and what do you think about this idea? Fred Error Loading Explorer.exe You must reinstall Windows.
