But Mandrake has already done that. The drivers are "nv" and it recognizes my card as a GeForce3. I think that I have to specify some monitor settings. But I don�t know how to do that.. =( My preferred settings are 1280x1024 @ 85Hz ( vertical:85hz and hor: 91.146khz) can I edit the XF86Config-4 file so that I get this resolution? Or do I do that in another file? Thanks /Stefan "newbi" Strandberg
