well i have kernel 2.4.9-21 on redhat 7.2, had to install the tarball cause
the source rpm from nvidia didn't work
anyway i compiled the driver without any problems, but when enabling the
nvidia driver sometimes after 5 minutes
sometimes after 1 day my screen goes bezerk, the only thing left is do push
the reset button. What you see
is almost the same as in windows when you boot and you change screens that
can't handle that resolution, but when
i use the driver supplied with the Xfree, the "nv" one, everything works
fine & stable.
I got a pentium III tualatin 1,1ghz, asus tusl2-c, 512 kingston ram, adaptec
u29160 controller, maxtor atlast 10KIII,
creative live player, creative geforce 1 titanium, intel 10/100 nic
anyone got any problems with this ? or had a similar problem ? perhaps it
could be cause redhat detects my card as a Geforce 2 GTS which is the model
it's based on. Here is a snapshot of my XF86Config-4 file
