Eh, Maybe you need the Linux drivers from the Nvidia site.
You'll need to recompile the RPM which is no biggie... "rpm --rebuild" does the trick. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of |Alan Carbutt |Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 5:17 PM |To: Mandrake |Subject: [newbie] Video card troubles | | |I have been using Mandrake for about a year and most recently |8.1. When I installed 8.1 at home, my video card is reported |as another. I am using a STB Velocity 4400 w/ 16MB of RAM, |AGP bus. XFdrake reports me using a RIVA 128. When I run a |couple of games (quake 3 for linux) the screen stays black |until I press Alt+Enter and puts the game in a window mode. |When I try to change the card type in XFdrake and restart the |X server it always comes back as a RIVA 128 card. 1. Is this |a problem? 2. Can I make the changes permanent without hosing |my install? 3. Is there something I'm missing?
