When you say no luck, does it still lock up? I don't know anything about the GF4, but I've never had serious problems installing these drivers. The default X drivers will hardlock any of the newer GF cards, but the nvidia drivers shouldn't. Was it working properly in the framebuffer mode after the install? I'll send you my XF86Config-4 file. Make sure that the -4 file and the XF86Config file are linked together. This shouldn't be a big problem on mandrake, but since redhat is really broken in this way, just check it anyway. ie:
ll /etc/X11/X* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 12 16:12 /etc/X11/X -> ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2743 Oct 12 16:13 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2743 Oct 12 16:12 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2739 Oct 12 16:11 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 955 Sep 25 12:40 /etc/X11/XF86Config.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13766 Oct 21 23:51 /etc/X11/XftConfig -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 275 Sep 10 00:15 /etc/X11/Xmodmap -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2008 Sep 10 00:15 /etc/X11/Xresources* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4800 Sep 10 00:15 /etc/X11/Xsession* In my case, I don't have an XF86Config file at all. You shouldn't need one. But if you have one, back it up, and then delete it. All you need is the XF86Config-4 file. Also, be aware that the kernel module won't always show up in lsmod because its autocleaned every now and then. But right when you boot, do an lsmod and look for NVDriver. -Eric Hattemer On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 13:08, Rodney Kanno wrote: > > Rodney, IIRC, you must also edit you XF86Config-4 to specify the new > > NVdriver, instead of the default nv one.
