X display issues with nVidia cards

[Strydom, Hennie]

I have an Athlon XP with nVidia geForce 2 (32MB) and a K6 with PCI TNT2
Ultra (32MB).
Both installed fine on RH9 and FC1, in graphical mode.  (The K6 also has
on-board SIS AGP, which cannot be disabled, but it correctly installs once
the BIOS is set to PCI graphics first.)
Both ran RH8 before RH9.  I upgraded to RH9, and did both the upgrade to FC1
and a clean install of FC1.
Once running I install the nVidia supplied drivers, since they provide a
substantial speed improvement, but the supplied drivers did work.

This does not directly answer your question, but does indicate that install
on nVidia certainly works for some.

Regards
  Hennie

Subject: X display issues with nvidia cards


Hi all,

I have a system currently running redhat 8.0 just fine, it has a nvidia 
tnt2 ultra graphics chip, and any version of redhat past 8.0 including 
fedora won't run X...whats the dilly here?  Any help appreciated.  I can 
install using the text version, but much prefer X for various admin 
tasks.  Pls advise.
