Which distribution are you installing, and what version of X are you
trying to install? The GeForce 2MX is a fairly new chip, and is only
supported by very recent versions of XFree86; you should probably be
installing XFree86 4.0.1 or later (4.0 was hard to install because it
was buggy); you then will have a choice between the "nv" driver, which
is genuine open source software, or the "nvidia" driver, which is
binary-only closed source, which you can download from nvidia.
