GeForce 4 MX 4000 Driver problem

What is showed me in the link you supplied was that you are using RPM, which is buggy.

Do an install from nvidia directly. Like horndude said.

Just save the drivers on the desktop and then do as he said.

Yup I went directly to nvidia's stite and got the driver from there. Still no joy.

Ok, do exactly this:

1 - Download the drivers to your Desktop.

2 - Get out of x into a console mode.

3 - cd /whateveryournameis/Desktop (just cd to the Desktop, whatever directory it is)

4 - sh -i <name of the nvidia driver file on the desktop>

5 - pico /etc/X11/XF86Config (open the file in a primitive editor)
OR pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf I can't remember which one FC4 uses.


6 - Find "Section Device" and change the Driver to "nvidia"

7 - CTRL+X and save the settings.

Ok, do exactly this:

1 - Download the drivers to your Desktop.

2 - Get out of x into a console mode.

Easy way to do that is load a terminal and type either init 3 or /sbin/init 3

3 - cd /whateveryournameis/Desktop (just cd to the Desktop, whatever directory it is)

4 - sh -i <name of the nvidia driver file on the desktop>

5 - pico /etc/X11/XF86Config (open the file in a primitive editor)
OR pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf I can't remember which one FC4 uses.

6 - Find "Section Device" and change the Driver to "nvidia"

7 - CTRL+X and save the settings.

The latest version of the nvidia drivers will walk you thru re-writing your xorg.conf file, so you shouldn't really need to do that

8 - lastly go back init x by using either init 5 or /sbin/init 5

added a few things in there, to help out some.

Well I'm calling it quits fellas. I've tryed getting those drivers to install at least 10 times. I've tried all manner of how to guides. It just doesn't work. It's either the core I'm using, the drivers themselves, or my card. (Seems to run fine under windows though.) Ahnyway, thanks for all your help everyone.
