Hi!, I'm having trouble with X configuration in my PC. It has the following specs-
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Asus A7N266VM M.B. with NVIDIA NFORCE chipset (32 MB shared)
256 MB DDR RAM
LG Studioworks 700S
I installed PCQLinux 8.0 (based on RHL 8.0) in text mode as the graphical mode hanged after giving a message-
Unable to probe monitor type
Then I downloaded the nvidia drivers for linux from www.nvidia.com-
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.rh80up_2.4.18_14.athlon.rpm
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.rh80up_2.4.18_17.athlon.rpm
I installed the first RPM then configured X using xf86config. I used the Hsync,Vsync values given in the manual & chose the generic nvidia geforce2 mx graphic card with 32 MB RAM.
Even after saving these values, startx hangs & so does redhat-config-xfree86. Am I supposed to do anything else after installing the drivers? I'm still in the dark. Please help. Thanks in advance!
