Hi,
I have a Nvidia Geforce2 MX 400 graphics card & installed Slackware 11. I have a normal CRT 17" monitor.
Now the problem is when I install the driver (latest legacy driver from nvidia.com) in xorg.conf it booted into x (KDE) fine once. But was very unstable and then crashed on me. It continues to work fine as long as I don't tell xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver. i.e. "vesa" still works but "nv" causes the crash. Now with "nv" it won't even load X but gives me problems. I post the below output to give you more info:
Sorry for the long post but this gives you pretty much everything I know......
