Hi, I don't know what I am doing different, but I have an nVidia GeForce II on an card made by Asus (I think it is the V7700), and I have ABSOLUTELY no problems with it; in fact, I followed the directions that I found on nVidia's page, and on MUO, and voila, fait accompli! I have nice gfx, can run OpenGL apps beautifully and couldn't be happier with it (which is good, since I bought it very shortly after the GeForce II was released, when it was VERY expensive, and would be FURIOUS if I WAS having difficulties!). Anyways, I was just posting this to let people who are on the market know that the GeForce II DOES work with LM8 (beautifully in fact), and to give hope to those I have seen posting here that they have had difficulties, and have relegated their GeForce II based vid cards to paper weights. As an aside, I did NOT use the drivers that came with LM8, but downloaded them from either nVidia or Asus site (I can't remember). I have both the src.rpm and the rpm, for both the kernel module and the driver, and they are all labelled as being for LM7.2, so what I did is: rpm --rebuild ladida.src.rpm I hope this is helpful/hopeful for someone.
