RedHat 8.0 Graphics Card
 

Hi. Can anyone tell me if the Leadtek Winfast A250 128mb card works with RedHat 8.0?
Thanks

Well it is GeForce4 card and there are drivers on http://www.nvidia.com that work for all NVIDIA cards from TNT to GeForce4 4600 Ti

the geforce 4 cards are supported by red hat 8.

red hat is nice, but they took a lot of multi-media support out of the operating system . i ended up putting red hat 7.3 back on my computer because of it. they have no mp3 music support, you have to download a plug-in for xmms player. no macro-media player or shockwave support. this is used on many web sites.

i wish red hat would offer a retail version with all this added support, like suse 8, and i would pay the added price for it.

Wouldn`t be much easier just to download missing stuff instead of reinstalling whole OS????

i know what you mean, but the shockwave support is in a tar gz file which i still have trouble installing. i only did it once with opera and now have forgotten how to do it. later ronss

tar zvxf name_of_file.tar.gz

I would suggest reading man page for every command you have problems using.

thanks for the help. i am aware of the man pages, but the creation of a directory where most of my problem lies, and have a path to the directory is were i run into problems. if i can successfully install tar gz files and compile the linux the kernal, most of my problems with linux would be solved.
