I know this is well documented and I've read through alot of the documentation pertaining to this installation, but I still can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to install my Nvidia driver and after I modify my x86 file and install it all I get is a white flash (I'm assuming this is the Nvidia splash screen) and then my monitor goes blank. I'm using Mandrake 9.2 kernel version 2.4.22. I've got the 4.3.0 version of X86 installed. I'm using a Nvidia FX Geforce 5200 video card. I'm running Mandrake on a Toshiba Satellite P25-S507 laptop.

I don't know if it's because of the size of the monitor on this laptop or what? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, please go easy on me I'm still learning.
