Hi,
Mark Vojkovich, in a most helpful reply to my posting
"XFree86 and the "nvidia" driver", (see
http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-April/016928.html),
confirmed that: "The "nvidia" driver requires that the server
have Xinerama support". He also suggests that GeForce4 400 Go
hardware should work with the "nv" driver.
Today, I took a CVS copy of the xc directory (21-April-2002, 03:30 GMT)
and rebuilt X11, for a DeLL Latitude C840 laptop, running linux-2.4.18.
The resulting X server fails to run and the last part of the
XFree86.0.log reads:

Also, linux reports:
Apr 21 15:16:17 aegis kernel: mtrr: no more MTRRs available
Apr 21 15:16:17 aegis kernel: mtrr: no more MTRRs available
Should I build kernels without MTRR support ?
Any comments most welcome.
Thanks,
Roger Brown
