Hi S,
From XFree86's pages, nvidia, 4.2.0:
Support (accelerated) for the Riva 128, 128ZX, TNT, TNT2 (Ultra,
Vanta, M64), GeForce (DDR, 256), Quadro, GeForce2 (GTS, Ultra, MX),
GeForce3, and Quadro2 is provided by the "nv" driver.
So it could be the Gef4 isn't handled yet? Have you tried the 'nv'
driver, or are you usin the 'nvidia' drivers? ....and with what
kernel? I haven't been able to get nvidia's to work properly with a
Gef2 with kernels newer than 8.2's 2.4.18-6mdk. Even a -13mdk I
compiled myself (with gcc 2.9.6). What error mesg's, if any, do you
get runnin 'harddrake' from a terminal? .... running 'startx' from
level 3? I suspect a XFree/Gef4 problem, or a kernel/Gef4/nvidia
snafu. If the card will work with the 'nv' driver, then it's got to
be another nvidia drivers problem.
