MAn, ill tell you what, My Mandrake 9.1 is giving me a hard time, The only thing i have left to do to my system is install the Nvidia Driver For The Geforce4 Mx440-se, I downloaded Nvchooser, Found the correct drivers and i constantly get an error saying the already installed, so i install the GLX, Since the kernel already sais it was installed, It sayd the source failed, needs blah blah blah kernel....Well, it wouldn't let me instal the kernel i needed in the first place, so i said alright then, let me do it the tar way, i tar'd it and ran make install....editied the x86 config and crash, i repeated thinking i missed something crash...i am a newbie and dont know what to do....Please..Anyone with a Geforce4 Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the whole "chooser/GLX/nvidia kernel" thing is outdated.

They have a binary you can run at
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-4496.html

so, follow these steps:
1) exit x (the graphical environment). if you have x on autostart, hit
ctrl-alt-f1, login as root, and type "init 3." If you don't have x on
autostart, just logout of your window manager.
2) become root; either you just logged in as root in step 1, or by using "su".
3) do "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run"
4) follow the directions, it will install it for you, and will even modify your XF86Config-4 file for you.
5) make sure that your configuration file has driver "nvidia" instead of driver "nv"
make sure your modules section has "load glx"
but NOT load "dri"

The installer should have taken care of all that, just check.
6) restart x (type init 5 if x is autostart, or just startx otherwise...or just reboot. whatever)

If you messed up your XF86Config-4, see if there's a backup (XF86Config-4~, for example, or XF86Config-4.bak, or something)

Thanx, ill give it a shot

I ahd to go through all the driver bit with 9.0 However I did a clean install of 9.1 and it seemed to find the correct card without any problems. I did not have to use the special Nividia driver
