Robyn Manning, you are a genius ! Thanks for solving my problem. The short of it for anyone about to try fiddling with options on whatever driver that gets automatically installed that looks like it might be almost right, is this:- run a PCI scan - for X it is an option of Xconfig, but you can use lspci to get similar info. If the PCI scan says odd things, take notice of it as well as the (EE) errors from the X log, and consider trying to find and install a new driver for the adapter you've got. If any of the XFree86 developers are monitoring this, a clear message should be included if the initial Linux install autodetect fails, pointing out that the driver (in my case "nv") might be close, but think about look around for a better one. It should have been obvious, but its the sort of newbie hurdle that ought to be pointed out more clearly in the installation scripts. When I saw the setup program fail to list the amount of video ram available as an option, I wrongly assumed that the driver was near good enough to use (an easy assumption to make, because it doesnt just switch back to text mode or put up a message clearly saying install X manually after finding and installing the best driver, it carries on with a low resolution setup dialogue (similar appearance to a BIOS setup) and lets you keep going without actually saying that the driver installed will run no more than a text console, and even though it will manage that, X wont work and needs a better driver. In cases like this, the distribution install process should put up a warning message like "this version of the linux distribution and its auto detect wont support your video card well enough to run X, but you will be able to set up Linux without X. Once that is done, try to find a driver for your video card and install it manually"). Anyway, after making the (now embarrassing) assumption that because the low-res setup dialogue ran OK, it was just a matter of tweaking the options on the X config using the driver that was there, I wasted a lot of time with experiments doomed to failure. Thats all behind me now, becase I have X working with the Nvidia driver called "nvidia", with the AGP options recommended in the driver documentation. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions, particularly Robyn. regards DCJ. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robyn Manning <rmanning@adam.com.au> To: <newbie@XFree86.Org> Cc: <DaveDCJ@bigpond.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 8:56 PM Subject: Re: X config fails on Titan P4 with AGP video card (nVidiaGeFarce2 MMX) > Hi > > You could try getting the NVidia drivers from their website.
