Dear Friends, I finally bought a Creative Blaster 4 Titanium 4200 with the Nvidia Geforce4 Ti chip. Thanks to the comments in this list and the expert one the installation was very easy. First I edited initab to put the text mode star; then I installed the two rpm nvidia files and also the nvtv file; I activated harddrake service and stoped the computer. Then I made the change of my Voodoo3 3000 and I put the new video-card in the AGP slot. I started again Mandrake and harddrake erase the Voodo3 3000 installation. From the console as root I started XFdrake and few seconds later I had my new card instaled with DRI runing.
Now I am testing several programes: tuxracer impressive, xine fine, Armagetron and Chromium runing fine..... But I have found two problems: 1) Quake III looks awfull; perhaps I need to select some special graphic characteristics; the videos and demos look very nice, but when I start to play the graphics are very bad. 2) With nvtv (tv-output) I can see the colors bars in my tv, but when I try to send the whole screen to the tv just a white screen. Perhaps I need to change something in the XFree86 Config files. Any help will be welcome; thanks a lot in advance for your help. -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Departamento de Biología Vegetal Universidad de Murcia E-30100 Murcia España (Spain)
