Hi
Here is the config file I had for RH 7.2. Still had alot of problems with
crashing etc, but this appears to have been APM and the XFree86 4.1. XFree86
4.2 has alot of fixes that seem to work in Suse, so am going to try RH
again.
Important items are display and screen section, font path, modules section,
and the last DRI section. Fonts should have the UNIX:7100 in it. Besure
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1" is in.
You can probably copy the screen and display sections directly. After you
install the NVIDIA kernel and GLX rpms, besure to run the switch2nvidia
command at the command prompt. I also had to use the
NVIDIA_kernelxxxx.src.rpm with rpm --rebuild. Never did get the supposedly
redhat rpms to work
Hope this helps. Good luck.
By the way, this should be in the XF86Config-4 file.

Subject: [Newbie]Dell Laptop with Nvidia Geforce2 Go chip and 15: SVGA+
LCD
Lo:
I installed RH7.1 on my Dell 8000 (!GHz, 256MB RAM, Nvidia GeforceGO laptop
chip, and 15" SVGA+ LCD). All well.
I updated the nvidia rpm driver from nvidia.com using rpm -Uvh... . All
well.
I startx and DOH! I get a no screen/monitor error.
I know I can edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config, but I don't know what info to
put for the Geforce2Go chip or the Dell 15" SVGA+ LCD..
Any suggestions? Anyone got x working on a similarly configured Dell 8000?
THanks,
James
