View Full Version : VideoRam not recognised with 4349 driver

I own the following card:

XFX GeForce4 MX440SE 64MB DDR TV-out PCI
Partnumber is PV-T97L-QTF6
BIOS is 4.17.00.52.16

This runs on an Intel i810 mainboard with Pentium 1GHz processor. I use redHat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18-27.8.0. The problem with this driver (and with 4191) is that it does NOT recognise the 64MB on board, but "sees" only 2MB. Putting in a VideoRam line in XFree86 is simply ignored. This leads to X not starting at all or garbling the text screen. Reducing the resolution to something that fits within 2MB makes X starttable, but unstable when graphics intense apps are run. I've attached the driver install log, XF86Config and XFree86.0.log in one file. This error also posted here, when 4349 was not out yet:

The older post also mailed to linux-bugs@nvidia.com, but no reply yet.

Kind regards, XYZ.

Andy,

I'd be happy to oblige if you need some testing to be done with beta driver versions or so, just let me know.

Kind regards, XYZ.
