New Video Card


I replaced my ATI 128 RAGE PRO with a Nvidia GeForce2 MX-400 and now I need to configure. What's the easiest steps?

what distro?

Usually, you have to edit the x config file to use the 'nv' module.

The Nvidia card is definitely much more stable when running X versus my ATI card. However, after downloading the Nvidia drivers, Nautilus refuses to run. I haven't been able to find any logs with errors. However I do get several errors on screen stating such things as CORBA error, etc. Suggestions?
