Can someone please tell me if there is a distro of Linux that works with the MSI FX5200 128 vidcard? I've tried both Redhat and Knoppix with no luck. Downloading Mandrake now..

According to the MSI specs it comes bundled with Linux drivers. Perhaps you should check your box.

Or check their website?

Well I got the drivers from Nvidia and burned them to CD. Now what do I do? lol

Using Redhat.. I'll only be able to do this from text mode..

Gentoo works out of the box with fx cards.Knoppix 3.3 also works with them but without 3d acceleration.
As for RH - just follow the instructions of the nvidia website to install the drivers and make sure they get loaded and the config file is changed to nvidia as graphics driver.
