Hi - I having problems with XFree86 running Linux Redhat 7.3 ver 4.1.18-10 on i686 an AMD MX 1800 512MB ram 80 GB HD.
I installed NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up_2.4.18_10.athlon.rpm and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm These are the error message. When I boot I sometimes I get a blank screen after vmlimu is loaded. I can go into windows and do a startx (that is where these messages come from) and then go the the Linux screen and logout of X11 it takes me to my login prompt. I have tried several setting in the config file listed at the end. My NVIDIA card should handle 800x600 and did for ahwile. My monitor has ranges from Ho Freg 31.47 to 63.974 KHZ and Vert.Freq 60-85 HZ. In windows I can run 1024x768 but I just use 800x600. Any ideas? ERROR MESSAGES....
