First, I want to thank the respondents. I found
this site and info very helpful. I took the sage advice of several
people to downloaded the drivers for RH 7.3 from the nvidia web site and
installed them. I edited the config file to add nvidia driver and I
was able to run X server at what looks like 640x480 <better than a
freeze with a blank screen>
I change the config file to 800x600 and rebooted,
it worked! Later I will try 1024x786. I am happy with this.
Second, When I quit the GUI it causes a memory
fault. It still seems to work but lots of error messages.
COBRA error - followed by applet errors and finally
a MemoryError followed by 'waiting for X server to shutdown'
message.
I ran up2date and several package were
selected. I am having trouble booting from the HD since the initial install
(different help area). I tried to run Xconfigurator and it hangs my system
and I have to do a install / upgrade to get it to boot again. I will stop tying
to use it.
Now, I would like to get rid of the X server
shutdown errors. I can not find were they are logged or I would attach
them.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Michael Connor
