Hi,

I've just installed Redhat 9 and installed the new drivers from the script, the work fine for the PCI GeForce 2 I have on the machine, but when I try to use the GeForce 4 Ti 4600 the machince goes into meltdown! I can't get in with ssh and any open sessions are hung, all I can do is hit the power switch. I've tried diabling AGP and still no luck.

I was previously running Mandrake 9 with no problems at all and xinerama worked like a dream.

When I look at the XFree86.0.log after a crash, there is apparenly nothing wrong.

My system is a Dell Precision 530 Dual 1.7 Xeon, running Redhat 9 standart SMP kernel.
1GB Ram with the two cards mentioned above! Any help would be really appreciated.

Many Thanks

Andy

Doh!

Just read the errata, about SMP systems running Digital Flat Panels!

I'll just have to use the analog connector for now as the old drivers don't want to instal from SRPM or from tarballs, Can't remember what the error messages were!

~Why just out of interest is there this problem ?

:confused:
