Looking at what you posted: > (--) SVGA: videoram: 64k
This might be your problem. Are you running kernel 2.2.12? I had a similar problem after my latest kernel upgrage in that it no longer detected my video memory and I had to add a line in /etc/X11/XF86Config Device section: VideoRam 2048 It looks like your chipset isn't detected either. I understand that NVidia has a custom XFree86 driver you can download from their web site. Bob On Tue, Aug 31, 1999 at 07:18:38AM -0700, Greg & Heather Vence wrote: > Ok, here's the output...
