I installed the 4191 driver in 9.0 and they work fine but you have to do it properly or it will mess up your install. :-(
you will have to remove and uninstall any NVIDIA drivers which you have tried. I had to reinstall to fix my first attempt. ;-{
But , It can be done ! so Take heart !!!!!
First you must have the right source rpm installed so you will need to correct this.
you can find the right sources here : ftp://at.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
I use the kernel-headers-2.4.18-41 so you should be fine with that one. the kernel-doc doesn't matter
I followed this tutorial which is very nice :
http://www.icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/nvidiacli
It directs you to rebuild the src rpms for your pc which is a good idea.
it also tells you where you can get them ( but this is incorrect, get them from the Nvidia site itself , and make sure they are the src.rpms )
If I remember , you will find the rebuild rpms here :/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586
follow the rest of the tutorial carefully and it will work fine.
always remember to do alot of this from the command line in runlevel 3
If you need help write me back and I can tell you how to use mcedit to edit the files you need to edit if you don't know how to do that from the command line.
mcedit is much easier to use than vi which he suggests using to edit the files. ( just let me know ) ;-)
hope this helps .
oh yeah, this is what I get when I use glxgears to test the speed of the card with the Nvidia drivers :
944 frames in 5.0 seconds = 188.800 FPS 1115 frames in 5.0 seconds = 223.000 FPS 1131 frames in 5.0 seconds = 226.200 FPS 1133 frames in 5.0 seconds = 226.600 FPS
Not bad eh?

I finally decided to upgrade my nvidia drivers (again - seems to happen as often as Mandrake releases!) but this time I am receiving alot of unresolved symbol errors.
Mandrake 9.0 GeForce2 MMX w/64 ram NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.tar.gz NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.tar.gz
From what I can find, it appears that my kernel does not match my kernel-headerversion:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk kernel-headers-2.4.18-41mdk kernel-source-2.4.19-24mdk NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up kernel-doc-2.4.19-24mdk
I tried this as well (but not too sure the path was correct) make install SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-24mdk
with no luck.
What advise would anybody have? remove the kernel-source-2.4.19-24mdk and install kernel-source-2.4.19-16mdk? Wait till 9.1 is out? (without startx till then...)
Thanks for any help and or advise Steve
