Hmm. Athlon runs fine here. I added the line mem=nopentium to my lilo.conf just in case anyway.
Running GeForce Ti 4400 here and it is fine, albeit under 8.2 for now [damn these servers are slow >> 9.0] ;-) You need 4.2 version for the latest nvidia drivers to work. Im unsure if 9.0 supports this card still in the gfx card install section. Just choose as unknown card and carry on but do not set the system to startx automatically for you. This allows you to boot into a command line which makes installing the gfx drivers a lot easier. I had to manually install the nvidia drivers after setting up the system using std vga modes supported on this gfx card. You are correct about needing to alter XF86Config-4. This is a painless thing using vi at the startup console tho and should take 10 minutes max to complete. visit http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q3/000811/index.html and have a read making notes where needed and get the latest nvidia drivers and store them on your system. make a note of the full path to aid you later. Just follow the instructions and welcome to linux running a top quality fast gfx card running in beautiful 1280x1024 24bit technicolour :) Hope this helps you out. regards magnet -- Registered Linux user 281659 Registered machines 163839,163840,163841,163842,163843,163844 Home network: 6 x AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz all running Mandrake 8.2 and token Windows laptop ;-) My home is over-run with penguins that like a warm environment!
