My card is about the same exact card as L.V.Gandhi has, mine is a Chaintech GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x, and mine works fine out of the box with a ASUS A7N8X board. For me also it worked out of the box. mdk9.1 has generic NVIDIA GeForce4 driver 'nv' as you have given in your XF86Config-4. And I am pretty sure that it is running with AGP set to 8x in the BIOS, but I am not interested in rebooting to check it out. You need not reboot to check it. it can be checked using [EMAIL PROTECTED] lvgandhi]# cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log|grep AGP (--) PCI:*(3:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] rev 162, Mem @ 0xe800/24, 0xe400/26 (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 4X successfully initialized I tried by turning of 8x in BIOS. My XF86Config-4 file contains this info on the card: Section Device Identifier device1 VendorName nVidia Corporation BoardName NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic) Driver nv Option DPMS EndSection Now I had a problem with Xine running initially too. What I did was get rid of all the DVD drivers that I had installed, and then carefully load them until it now works like a charm. xine is not at all working for me. I will be thankful if you can say which dvd drivers you removed. Further in mdk I have problem of harddisk not getting udma5 as default in hdparm -i /dev/hdx with this A7N8X MB and mdk9.1. but it shows in knoppix 3.2. Can you share your experience of your harddisk with respect to udma status and any configuration you did -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
