yes I do have a nvidia card. I have another question. when I compile my own kernel with AGP (new for XF4.1.0) or the old one my linux machine can't go into init 5 for X. Also wine doesn't start. if anyone has anyidea on what is wrong please reply. I use redhat 7.2 kernel version (2.4.7-10 and 2.4.9-31),PII 866,and nvidia GeForce2 MX.
