Hello,
I would like to ask some help, if possible, on how to make it run the
XFree86 4.1 on a Dell Inspiron 4100
I have a Nvidia, Geforce 2 Go 32mb video card and XGA 14' tft display.
I tried first to install redhat 7.2 with the drivers from Nvidia but the
result was (after I configured XFreeConfig-4 ) that no errors were shown
on X -probeonly but when I tried startx, the X server was starting without
displaying anything on the screen. I tried switching the resolutions but
no progres.
So, I am trying with Mandrake 8.1 right now and after I installed the
drivers from Nvidia and reconfigured the XFreeConfig-4 I am able to use
only 800x600 in 16bit color but the problem is that on the screen appears
only the left upper quarter of a normal screen with this resolution. It is
like I have 4 screens (the whole image is larger than the screen I have) 
and I am able to see only the left upper one.
I would like to mention that when I tried redhat 7.2 I tried to upgrade to
XFree 4.2 but still didn't work at all.
I would highly appreciate some help.
Thank you very much.
Daniel Vasiliu
