nvidia and ati drivers


i have 2 laptops running mandrake 10.1 , one has an nvidia geforce 4 440 go and the other an ati radeon 9500 mobility...im not sure what drivers to use for them since im guessing the ones on the nvidia sites are for desktop computers....anyone know any good drivers for them?

Nvidia drivers are for any computers running nvidia based graphics cards.

You can get the drivers and instructions direct from nVidia here:

On the computer with the ATI, just use the drivers off of the ATI site. Also, your distro will probably have specific instructions on how to install the ATI drivers, as they can be a big pain
