Quoting "Paul G. Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
So now I'm running FC8. I looked in the lvna repository for a NVIDIA driver and thought I found one (this laptop has a GeForce 440 Go - GeForce4 chip for mobile computing - and 1024x768 LCD + external SVGA interface). I installed it with the dependencies - kernel module,
This wouldn't happen to be on a Toshiba laptop would it? I had one once that was like this, and I blame Toshiba. Even in windows you could NOT use the nvidia drivers as they couldn't recognize the card.. you absolutely had to use the Toshiba drivers (which, of coure, were woefully out of date and never updated after some point a few months after the laptop came out). Apparently they did something in the hw that would make stock drivers unable to see the card for what it was, even though linux or windows reported it like a standard Geforce Go card (I think it might've been a 440 Go too, come to think of it) it clearly was modified by them in some way.
