IT would be SO GREAT... If there was a Installation Guide or Tutorial that takes you from Installation of Mandriva 2006... right... all the way through the process of installing a game... Step by step cause I've tried everything and I cannot get any of my games to work... XMoto works, glxgears work... Cedega + Battlefield Vietnam, Steam, CounterStrike, F.E.A.R. dont work.... Is there ANY body that knows how to install any of these games from start to finish in Mandriva 2006?
Thank you So much!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. You will help guide another lost soul away from Windows and To the great world of Linux if This can be accompllished for me, I will delete my Windows partition.
P.S.S. I have GeForce 5500 FX 256mb PCI Graphics card

Did you install the driver for your video card and is it install right? You should see a nvidia splash screen upon bootup if it's installed in the proper manner.
I HAve a Intel Onboard Graphics card along with my PCI card.. but I dont want to use the Intel Onboard graphics... in Bios theres only Values On and Auto for the onboard... I have it Auto
Installation for games goes fine in cedega, then I clicked to Play, It brings up the Splash Screen for a second... Then the screen blips and its back to desktop... In Console where I commaneded cedega to open it says Wine unhandled exception error or something like that...

Also My Kernel version is 2.6.12-19mdk... If someone can Please help me figure out whats going on here i Would really appreciate it... I NEED GAMES IN LINUX or else i need Windows on my computer, and I dont think any of us want that..
GeForce FX 5500 is the same card I have on my system and it runs great. If you have the actual nvidia drivers installed you should see a Nvidia splash screen when you boot just before you login screen.
Looking at your lsmod it looks like the driver is installed.
But the splash Screen doenst Display... Like I said I have the PCI version of that card... Mandriva Update installed nvidia drivers during Update... It seems installed, but no splash screen, no Cedega games..
Craig: What driver (card name) did you select for Nvidia drivers installation process
