Re: [Xpert]X server problems
Mark, Thank you very much for advice. I was able to make RedHat 7.2 work on the laptop Toshiba Satellite 5105-S607 with the NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go card. Using two drivers, NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72up.i686.rpm and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.i386.rpm and editing the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 did the job, and now X is running and everything is ok.

Re: [Xpert]X server problems
NVchooser does not work! It gives a few errors. During RedHat installation, I was not asked weather to install smp kernel or something else. Still I believe I have an smp one. By the way, why smp is not good for the laptop? What's the difference? I read the pages that you advised on XFree86 configuration. Still, it's not clear if I could use Xconfigurator or not, or any other tool. I am asking because I did everything what was advised in NVIDIA installation guide for editing XF86Config file, in particular, I replaced driver nv with driver nvidia and removed the lines with load dri and load GLcore. Still X server did not load. There is probably something else that I'm missing. Sorry for many question, but it seems to be a really tough problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Re: [Xpert]X server problems
Thank you very much for advice. Could you please further advise which NVIDIA binary drivers should I use, as there is a bunch of them. My understanding is that two packages are needed, one for NVIDIA_kernel and another for NVIDIA_GLX. I probably have (how to check it?) RedHat 7.2 SMP kernel i686 configuration. So, which drivers to choose? For the kernel, it seems obvious to choose NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.rh72smp.i686.rpm, but what to choose for GLX as there is no version for i686. Should I choose NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.i386.rpm ? After installation of the two NVIDIA drivers, should I configure XFree86? How? Can I use Xconfigurator for that? It seems as Xconfigurator won't still know anything about NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go card and about Toshiba's 15" UXGA TFT (1600x1200) display. How to configure then? Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you. Paul

If yes, then how to do it better? 4.2.0 will not help. GeForce4 440 Go is only supported in XFree86 CVS since about March 1 or so, or with NVIDIA's binary drivers available from the NVIDIA web site.
