RE: [newbie] troubleshooting vmware Xfree86 DGA support
You MAY get X 3.3.6 to load with the nv driver using a GeForce 2 MX, but if you want 3D accelartion (Open GL), you must use Nvidia's drivers from nvidia.com. Nvidia's drivers REQUIRE X 4 to work. The instructions on the site specifically state that they will not work for X 3. So, you are probably out of luck with that. --- Tycho Bizot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a newbie to but it sounds like a solution that might work. does anyone know if a geforce 2 mx runs under XFree86 V3 Thanx, Tycho -Original Message- From: Terry Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 11 mei 2001 17:35 To: Tycho Bizot Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] troubleshooting vmware Xfree86 DGA support I'm a true newbie, which means I know very little (if anything) :-)), but I have the same problem with VMWARE.
