msi g4mx420

[ptfe]

i have a msi g4mx420 64mb ddr card plugged into a via based mobo and it doesn't get on well with mandrake 8.1 or 9. i lose cursor movement and it gets recognized as generic g2 instead of g4. i cant use 1024x768 res or hardware acceleration with it. any clues?:afro2:

:afro: well i got the mouse cursor control back by uncommenting the software cursor option in my xf86 config file:cool: but theres still a blue line about 3 millimetres wide which runs down the left side of the screen. clock rates or other resolution probs, perhaps?:confused: will it help if i install the nv drivers (using drivers supplied with the distro at the mo')?
