I don't know if you purchased a laptop yet, but I have a Dell 8100 with a GeForce2-go in it. I installed RedHat 7.2, but cannot get X running. I downloaded the rpm drivers from nvidia, but they don't have an rpm for RH7.2. I tried the "general" src rpm, and compiled it, but the module wouldn't load. When I ran X, I got this error: "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module!"
According to nvidia, this is because the module either wasn't loaded, or was built for the wrong kernel. Has anyone had any luck with this? Also, check this site out: delltalk.us.dell.com and go to inspiron, then Video, and you will see that the message board is saturated in WindowsXP+Geforce2go blue screens. There are some temperary fixes, but it is a major problem. Keep that in mind when deciding on a laptop. So, in summation, other than not running the latest Redhat or Microsoft OS with any stability, it is a sweet system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2001 7:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Dell Inspiron or Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook?
