XFree86 & GeForce Ti4600 Problem
I've just tried installing the latest official release of Knoppix, Mandrake 10, and SuSE 9.1. All the installations run perfectly until we get to the XFree86 Configuration part.
Knoppix refuses to boot X b/c it can't find a working server for it and drops me back into the command prompt after even trying the VESA server.
Mandrake 10, installs the packages perfectly, and when I get to the final configuration screen, shows "Graphics not configured" in red font. So I press the button to configure it, and the system freezes. My USB kb/mouse both freeze within 3-4 seconds, and this error is consistently reproducible. I've tried using "linux apci nolapci" to no avail.
In SuSE 9.1, after I get to the install, and finish configuring my X stuff with SaX, LCD Screen 1280x1024, 60 Hz, 1280x1024x16bit desktop, the test system refuses to initialize despite any settings I use. I decide to tell it to save the settings anyways, and finish the installation. Everything is fine except for I can't boot up X/KDE.
My hardware:
Athlon 2200+ XP
512 MB PC2700 RAM
Leadtek GeForce Ti4600 (stock clock settings)
ABIT AT7 Motherboard
120 GB WD HD
MS IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 USB
Generic 10 dollar keyboard USB
17.4" Planar LCD screen
Leadtek TV2000XP TV Card
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
