Hi
Read with interest your post. I have successfully loaded Dell C810 Geforce2
Go under Redhat Linux 7.2 and Redhat 8.0.
Will admit though the install under 7.2 was difficult but the following site
has a good guide http://www.m5computersecurity.com/Linux-on-C810.html which
I found through Google and this site http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/.
Sorry haven't got the XFree version number handy for either installation.
On Redhat 8.0 I downloaded all the information on the nvidia pages and the
rpm's. I installed RedHat as a terminal only installation (ie I skipped the
X configuration bit). I then installed the Nvidia rpms and ran the redhat
xconfiguration worked a dream following the guide on the Nvidia website.
Regards
Keith
