The funny thing is that I just changed this laptop from redhat to fedora... redhat 9 had no problems with the video. I ran it at 1280x1024 iwth a default install
I wouldnt know where to begin to "redo" the file. I might just uninstall it and reinstall or reinstall everything :^O
When i first downloaded the installer... I found a readme that used --extract-only then ran through make
I had the problem with that. Then i tried installing it by going to init 3 and running the .run but I said "yes" to the prompt to download the file from nvidia's ftp and had problems on that install THEN i ran it again and said NO to that prompt and im still sitting here lookin at some HUGE icons heh
I went into the Display Settings GUI and expanded my selected monitor (Generic CRT Display) and chose 'Monitor 1600x1200' restarted X then all of my resolutions were in the drop down to choose from and I can scroll through them all with cntrl alt -/+
Haven't installed any games yet like Quake so we'll see how that goes next
