I have a problem with my installation of the version 1.0.4349 graphic driver installer.

I am running RH Linux 8.0 on a Dell GX240 and am using a Leadtek Winfast A250 TD graphics card using GeForce 4 Ti 4400 processor.

The software seems to install properly, but it only allows me to run at a colour depth of 16 and 800x600 and 640x480 resolution.

When I do a XFree86 -configure I get a message that the card configuration is valid but that the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h and that I should contact XFree86. It has recognised the id of the card correctly as 0x0251 as per the installer README. Would NVIDIA not have registered the card with XFree86?

Please find attached the various files

XFree86 -configure very likely doesn't know how to configure the nVidia drivers. You're going to have to figure out a text editor, and edit your XF86Config file manually.

Edit: And since your card is a bit newer than your version of X (4.2.0 in RH 8, right?), that's probably the reason the PCI ID wasn't in the correct header file. It's not that nVidia didn't talk to X, it's that you're using an old version (the latest is 4.3.0). But don't bother upgrading; 4.2.0 works fine.
