Ditto, I downloaded the nVidia drivers, followed the instructions explicitly on a new RH 7.3 install on a Dell Latitude. With hand editing of the Xfree86 config-4 file per the instrucitons, X started up in a beautiful 1600x1200 resolution! If you read it will work!

After installing them you need to hand edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. There are instructions at nvidia's site. And do not use XFdrake or anything when using nvidia drivers, do any changes needed by editing the config by hand. > _______________________________________________ > > Newbie@XFree86.Org > *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie > > -- Bob Hartung, Bettendorf, IA _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
