After you install the GeForce4, download and install the Nvidia drivers for
Mandrake 9.0 either from the Mandrake Club or a contrib directory. Then run
XFdrake or edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 by hand (XFdrake is probably
preferred). Then you should be able to start X.
When X is running, bring up a terminal and type:
glxinfo | grep render
You should see:
direct rendering: Yes
