I think support for legacy cards like yours (and mine) was dropped.
The cards supported by this driver and the ones only supported by the
legacy driver are listed in appendix A of the README [1]. Is seems
that the GeForce MX 400 is still supported by the normal release.
Have you tried the rpm packages from Livna [2]? They're not at 76.67
yet (still at 71.74), but they allow for really easy installation (no
xorg.conf editting necessary for instance). Download and install the
nvidia-glx package plus the kernel-module-nvidia package for your
kernel.

hi all,
i've installed Fedora Core 4 on my box which has a Geforce2 MMX
400 card.
i've installed kernel-devel rpm packege.
[mcarthor@McArthor ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-doc-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
i've disabled selinux as some posts say.
now i have nVidia 7667 driver also.
i invoke this command:
./NVIDIA-7667-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel
and no error occurs.
then i run
./NVIDIA-7667-pkg1-custom.run
and it gives error which is detailed in /var/log/nvidia-install.log
it SEEMs that the installer cannot insmod nVidia's driver module,
and that the
error relates to gcc-4.0 and 4K stack, but i don't know what to do.
plz help me...
thx
