the command with the switch worked!
I tried to download the drivers from from nvidia, but it wouldn't install
because it says that I was using a different kernel, specifically:
error: failed dependencies:
kernel = 2.4.3-20mdk is needed by NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541.mdk80up
and this is my current version:
Linux version 2.4.8-26mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96
20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)) #1 Sun Sep 23 17:06:39 CEST 2001
It looks like mine is the later version, though. Which do you use? Are
there other drivers somewhere which you used?
Thanks! At least it's working now!
