nVidia GeForce 440 Go on Toshiba 1900-703

[cusumano]

Hi there

I've got a wiered problem with my Toshiba 1900-703 with a RedHat Linux 9.0 running.

This laptop has an nVidia GeForce 440 Go 32Mb and when I install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run and modify the XF86config, when I run the Xserver the screen starts to fade in a white kind of color and I can't get it to work!!( If I try the proped video card (RedHat finds a NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic) ) My sceen resolutions is limited to 800x600!! I can't set it up 4 1280x1024 like in windows OS(

Can anybody help me out?...pleaseee....

I successfully installed the nvidia drivers once on my laptop a Toshiba 1955-s801 but the new drivers fail for me too. It makes my screen go psychidelic. Message me if you figure your's out. Else I'll message you if I find the fix.

I've been able to get X to load now by modifying the /etc/modules.conf.

Add: options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=2

then at prompt: rmmod nvidia
followed by: modprobe nvidia

startx

Only problem is that the screens runs off the display.

Hi again,

after following your solution I've found the way to make it full screen with a light ofset to the bottom-right..any how

reading the /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA.../README

I found that it is best to also use the

NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 option in the /etc/modules.conf

so now this config file should look like:

option nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2

-------------
I'm now working on the screen resolutions..
I'll let U know as soon as I can

Ciao Daniele!
