Hi Im running rh 7.2 and as Im using a geforce 4 the drivers for the card arent with the distro.

I can get into x but only in stupid res of 320*140 (or something)

this means I Can only see a fraction of the screen and cant do anything.

So I downloaded the correct GLX and Kernel(athlon) rpm's and installed them, havent done anything else. I know thier correct as I ran NVchooser first

I Still only get into x in 320*140

what else do I need to do to solve the problem please????

Would I need to do modprobe NVidia_Driver or something then start X, or would this also not work???

I have read the Nvidia faq but I cant really do much while my desktop is in stupid res.

In your XF86Config-4 file, you need to replace "nv" with "nvidia" under the devices section. And you need to insert the line:
load "glx". I forget the name of the section where this line goes, but the instructions of how to do this is right in the front of the instructions you can view from nvidia.

will I need to do modprobe every time I boot then or will this be taken care of (note Im doing this from a console window in X). Also will adding these lines solve the stupid resolution problem?????

OK sorted can now get into Kde and Gnome Ive set the run level to 5 (via init 5) so I now boot from Gui.

i solved the problem by deleting the /etc/X11/XF86config file
then starting Xconfigurator which warned me that there was no XF86config file before creating one it then said the current file was linking to the incorrect location and asked me if i'd like to fix it, as I was getting desperate I clicked yes.

Hey presto It worked and I got into X.

However I had to do modprobe nvidia to get it running so I assume I would have to copy this into a config file for it to load on boot!
