Download nvidia rpm from ftp://sachinnair.com, i used it on my system almost similar configuration so it should be good enough. run it after getting into runlevel 3 as someone said earlier. You could also try reducing the resolution in /etc/X11/XF86Config and changin the 'nv' to 'nvidia' as shown below. Boot form the bootable CD using 'linux rescue' command. Then edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config, look for something like this. ---------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" ##change 'nv' here to 'nvidia' VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)" VideoRam 32768 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" #reduce resolution to any one 640x800 preferred EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection ---------------------------------------------------- , or as a last bid reinstall choose text mode, then download the nvidia rpm, run it and reboot. then typer startx after logging in again! hope this helps Sachin Nair -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
