I have also tried to run the "nv" driver you suggested, and got a lot of errors:

But then I tried something. I commented out 'Load "extmod"' and X started! But I cant help but wander if extmod is necessary. What modules are necessary?

That hardware is newer than the last official XFree86 release. Actually, there's a prebuilt nv_drv.o on my web page at http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/nv_drv.o that should work but you'll have to pass the -ignoreABI switch to the server in order to get it to load a module that's newer than the server ("startx -- -ignoreABI"). > driver to work.

I'm not sure how something like that can happen. Those symbols are in the core server - they can't be unresolved. Hmmm. Actually, it looks like that would only fail if your extmod was built with XResExtension support but the server wasn't. It looks like you have a module mismatch. What version do you have for your exmod (ie. from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log) (II) LoadModule: "extmod" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a (II) Module extmod: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.2.99.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: XFree86 Server Extension ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1 Compared to the version of your X-server (ie from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log) XFree86 Version 4.2.99.2 / X Window System And after printing out that piece about the extmod module above, do you see a line like the following: (II) Loading extension X-Resource Mark. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
