Well, I don't know which of the binary drivers did you try - the 2313/2314
ones? they should work ok...

As for crashing after few seconds - see the documentation about the NvAgp
option there and  try the options there. Also - if you intend to use the
binary only nvagp module (it doesn't appear on lsmod) - then make sure that
you didn't compile in your kernel agpgard and that it's not loaded (you can
check it with lsmod AFTER you started X)...

Then, you can do: cat /proc/nv/card0 - my output is this:

hetz]$ cat /proc/nv/card0

(this is on a GeForce 2 card)..

As for your tv out feature - you can use it if you have twin-view feature
(look at the box or at the windows drivers if its enabled) and then you can
use it as a 1 big X server divided to 2 screens (no Xinerama needed so you
get full 3D on both screens and Xv extension supported) - but be careful -
some cards got both TV out and VGA - while you can use only one of them, like
my card.

OTOH it's kinda weird to boot my Linux and use my old 14" television to see
the text & use KDE ;)

GeForce2 MX 200 + TV OUT anonymous

[Iftach Hyams]

I bought this card from unknown manufacturer - is it matter ? It seem to be
running but
once I executed OpenGL application (/usr/bin/bounce from mesa-demos) it
stacked after few seconds.
XF86configuration-4 is (I home) fine - I changed the device to "nvidia",
removed "GLcore" module
and added "glx" and so on (their RPM have a nice README).
 Is the equivalent card from say, ASUS, will be better ?
 Can anyone send me his configuration file ?

My board is ASUS, AMD K6 II 350. Redhat 7.1. It took IRQ 10. I have in
addition a modem, ISA SCSI
poor Ethernet card & some SB.

Thank you
