RIVA TNT2 vga drivers installation?

sikandar · 09-22-2003, 11:06 PM

when I try to change resolution other than 800X600 there is no effect. Then I noticed the following while clicking the advanced in the display box.

Video card type : RIVA TNT2
Mrmory size : 32 megabytes
Driver : nv

Is there any requirement to reinstall the drivers and if so then from where I can install these?

Probe Monitor worked for me.

How are you trying to change the resolution? Are you editting XFree86Config, or..?

I was trying to use the "Display" GUI.

Is it because you monitor setting is not correct? need to relog to take effect.

by the way, your PC should be old if you use TNT2. I have a Athelon 850 and the nVIDIA binary driver really boost the performance.
