I just got my new Athlon 1.1GHz system with a ABIT KT7A-RAID MoBo and I decided to get an ASUS V7100 Twinview because The Chip Merchant was out of Matrox cards and I though the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX would be better if I ever booted into the GameOS.
I am using using RHat 7.0 installed from the mass of .rpm files.
Well now I am regretting the ASUS NVIDIA idea 4 hours later.
Xconfiguratior shows me this on the PCI probe:
PCI Entry : nVidia Corporation|NV11
X Server : None
XFree4 driver: nv
That second line has me worried already.
I pick the monitor set "No Clockchip Setting"
Try to get the 8-bit 1024x768 (tried others too)
Then I get this mess:
XFree86 Version 4.0.1a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 2 August 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see

Fatal server error:

Is this some sort of AGP thing that will cause me to rebuild my kernel?
