Simulpost from NVnews.org, trying to solve this thing.
This is very, very off, has me climbing the walls.
X crashes, with an error of 'no usable configurations' (more below)
when using the nvidia 4496 and 4363 drivers under Red Hat 9 (same error using 4496 under MDK 9.1 and 9.2)
System specs:
Asus A7N8X-DX Motherboard
Visiontek GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB AGP
Sony CPD-E200 monitor
From the XF86config file:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Sony CPD-E200/E200E"

Note the refresh rates under the monitor are H: 30-85 V:48-120
Now the Log file from that config:

it makes X puke, this happens with both drivers in multiple distros, i'm thinking the monitor's the culprit. at theis point.
X runs fine with the 'nv' red hat default drivers in operation, but pukes otherwise, with the 4496 drivers, it kills the framebuffer too, the 43x doesnt do that. HELP!!!
