No, I do not have a RIVA card. But that is not relevant, as the rivafb module does support not only riva cards, but other NVidia based cards as well, like my GeForce2 MX 400. The kernel 2.4.2? version of this drive works well with my video card, and I use it when booting with that kernel. Take a look at the file drivers/nv/nv_type.h in the kernel source distribution and you will see a list of chipsets from NVidia which (I believe) is supported. > Why do you want this driver so bad? The performance of video operations, like scrolling. The screen really scrolls much faster with the riva frame buffer than with the vesa frame buffer. Romildo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
