I added support for PCI ID 0x0171 "GeForce4 MX 440" on 2001/10/01. It can't possibly work with 4.1.0, which was released earlier in the year. While 0x0171 recognition was in 4.2.0, I only had prelease boards to run with it. I know that many modern NV17 boards (maybe most) do not work with 4.2.0. Everything should work fine in CVS. The "nv" driver doesn't officially support NV17 until after 4.2.0. MArk. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
