Titolo: XFree86 e ASUS AGP-V7700 GeForce2 -- gia` postato

ciao a tutti,
ho appena acquistato un nuovo computer e sono alle prese con l'installazione di Linux (RedHat 6.2). Tutto perfetto se non fosse che non mi parte X. O meglio quando lancio startx, ottengo il seguente messaggio:
XFree86 Version 4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 8 March 2000
	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
	problems.  (see 
http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ
)

Fatal server error:
no screens found
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Il problema credo sia rappresentato dalla configurazione di XFree, o meglio ho
una scheda troppo nuova (la ASUS AGP-V7700 GeForce2) basata sul chip RIVA, ma
credo ceh il modulo nv non la supporti al meglio. Io comunque mi accontenterei
di riuscirla ad usare anceh senza sfruttare le sue features più evolute.
Qualcuno ha già configurato questa scheda, o comunque è in grado di darmi dei
consigli?
TIA Walter

ciao giambo, quanto tempo che non ti si sente :)
no, ho installato XFree 4 proprio per il motivo opposto i driver per quella
scheda esistono solo per XFree 4, ma non riesco a farli girare ugualmente,
altri suggeriemnti?
Walter

altri suggeriemnti?
Controlla sul sito nvidia se c'è qualche modulo compilato che supporti pure
la tua scheda.

uhm, da quando ho mandato il messaggio ad ora ne ho fatto di tentativi, ma di passi avanti pochi. Come suggerisci ho installato i driver nvidia e fatto la modifica che dici tu al file XF86COnfig, ma niente continua a dirmi: 
  No Screen Found!
eppure la sezione screen esiste e riferisce al giusto monitor e device.
Ho provato anche ad installare la Mandrake 7.1, questa dovrebeb fare tutto lei,
di fatti riconosce la scheda patcha il kernel ed installa il driver corretto,
ma l'errore è sempre lo stesso ed X non parte.
Altri suggerimenti? da quanto scrivi deduco che anche tu hai una scheda con un
chip NVIDIA, ti funziona bene?
grazie
Walter

ti devi scaricare i driver da 
www.nvidia.com
 installarli (cosa che prob hai
Oh, cesko!!!!
POtevi anche risparmiarci le 520 righe del post originale.<eg>
