I've got a suggestion, I don't know if it's SOP or not according to the Mandrake gurus Civ or Todd, but what I would try is downloading the latest Nvidia RPM's from their site onto your Linux system and install them. They don't take effect until you reboot the system; at least in my experience, anyway. Take care not to restart X either. Then make your modifications to your XF86Config-4 file to get Nvidia's recommended mods in place. Reading the installation PDF from Nvidia on this is very much required reading. After you make the modifications to your XF86Config-4 file, and double checked them, and made sure the Nvidia RPM's were installed properly, THEN I would power down and make the card switch. Cross your fingers when you power back up. ;) HTH, LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같�
