I am not Civileme but I think I can answer your question since I have used a
Riva128 card before.
In order for the 4.0 simple server to be installed you can not accept the
generic Riva128 designation you need to select the specific card that you
have or if that is not listed 1 with the same amount of ram and "the same"
abilities. An example is that say your card is not listed and it has 16mb
with built in 3d accel then you could choose to designate your card as
either a GrahicsBlaster Riva TNT, which is listed under Other, or you could
choose the Velocity 4400, which is listed under STB.

Subject: [newbie] Nvidia Riva 128Z acceleration
Dear Civileme
I have seen the Mandrakeforum.com, but using the lings these files are
not applicable to the Riva 128Z; they consider that this could be work
fine with XFree 3.36 and 4.0.
Nevertheless, Mandrake 7.2 in personal installation just gives me the
oportunity to select between 3.36 with acceleration or without
aceleration; there is a message about the possibility to use 4.01 but
not the possibility to select it.
My questions are:
1) It is possible acceleration for this video card using XFree 4.0 or
4.01?
2) In this case do I need to select an expert installation?
A question for everybody, there is any person that has reached the
acceleration with this video card (Nvidia Riva 128Z) on Mandrake 7.2?,
How?
Thanks so much for your help
