I have 3 machines, each has an nVidia MX-400 card and 2 of them work just fine with the nVidia legacy driver from nVidia's website after it is executed from run level 3 (init 3) from root. The one odd one won't compile because it can't find the kernel source. I got really pissed at that GATEWAY PIECE OF S___ and put Windows XP on it and am giving it to an enemy, As a footnote, I pulled the nVidia card out of the Gateway, put back the p.o.s. ATI Rage 128 that it came with. XP works fine on the box and Direct-X works just fine with the video card and all is right with the world and Google Earth renders it's polygons ok. Hurray for XP.
