Mandrake 9.0: GeForce 4 MX420


Ive just downloaded Mandrake 9.0

However, it autodetects my GeForce 4 MX420 as a 'GeForce 2 (generic)' which doesn't work (when I use the 'test' feature). When I select 'GeForce 4 (generic)' it still doesnt work.

Redhat 7.3 and Knoppix 3.1 Beta both worked with this card.

How can I get around this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gordon

What's the error you get? Od it's just displayed incorrectly? Remember that you can always install as generic SVGA and then download NVIDIA drivers (and install them). from www.nvidia.com
