John, I have exactly the same laptop and I got it working... so see the attached file for the configuration. Once you have the external monitor or beamer on, you will have to press Fn+F4 and some key, then the screen will appear. Btw, I have the 4496 version of the driver installed. The higher versions give problems for me. Currently I am not on my laptop, but I also have a configuration file for the S-Video port. This works very good too. If you want that, just let me know. Do you have other equipment working on the laptop? Like the modem and the infra-red devices? I had no time to look into them, but would like some help with configuring them. - Jeroen On Thursday 26 February 2004 17:32, John Paul wrote: > Hi, > I don't if I'm at the right support address but I would configure a > laptop with nvidia GForce2MX card under Linux RedHat 9. > > I've download the last pkg.run from the nvidia server and installed it > without any matter.
