NVIDIAS drivers *_REQUIRE_* modification to the XFree86 config file, and to the best of my knowledge they must be done by hand.

You need add the higher resolutions to the Modes line. > Xfree.0.log: <snip> > (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) NVidia Riva TNT2 M64 rev 21, Mem @ 0xfd000000/24, don't expect much in 3D, even with NVIDIA's drivers. The M64 is rather slow.

NVIDIA'd driver doesn't use the XF86 glx modules.

Make sure you have the correct kernel modules installed. Post/send me the new config file and the X log file from when you try to start in 1024x768 or 1280x1024. -Thomas -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
