Hi, I have the Geforce 2 MX ddr card succesfully working with xfree v4.0.3 running Testing on a pretty much standard 2.2 kernel. I assume you have installed the nvidia packages, kernel and glx along with xfree4.0.3 all available Debs in Testing. I would strongly recommend not using the binarys at Xfree.org or the nvidia bins from them as at a later date, you will run into depency problems (been there already!)
run 'xf86config' to get a basic xfree86config-4 file, you can select geforce as your card as you are going to change it anyway. then make the following edits: Uncomment the line # load "GLX" change the line Driver "whatever" to Driver "nvidia" remove these lines load "dri" if they exist load "GLcore" Then make sure you have the following symbolic link /etc/X11/X > /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 create this with :: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X HTH Wayne. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 August 2001 07:48 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: NVidia GeForce MX2 XFree86 v4 I am having problems setting up XFree86 v4 with my NVidia GeForce2 MX.
