Hi guys, No, no, I knows that if I runs in "virtual mode" I can't use Geforce driver.
But I only wants to use this driver in "real mode". Under Linux I must use VMware driver, ok :-) But Jason, looking at http://www.vmware.com/support/ws4/doc/disks_dualboot_ws.html#1046312 was the first thing I did it, and it didn't work :-( I'll try it again. Regards, and thanks. On 16 Sep 2003 20:59:08 +0800 Ed Greshko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2003-09-16 at 20:49, Jason Dixon wrote: > > > > C.
