just installed RH7.1 and i'm having problems in starting x.
this is my first linux install so i really really dont know what im doing.
i looked at redhat's site, and found out that my video card is not supported(GeForce4 MX 440), is there any work around in this? like a generic driver or something?
thanks!:D

btw, i saw a post here that points to where i could download the drivers.. but i dont know which one to download.. and how to install it... :(

Run xf86config and try to configure it to use your card.

You can downloads the driver you need from nvidia site.

I have the same card. nVidia cards are backward compatible. You should pick gf2mx instead.

Install Redhat 9. It will probably support your graphics card out of the box, but more importantly, it doesn't completely suck like Redhat 7.1 does.

am i've tried it and still and didnt work for me... :(
it says 'no screen found' or 'no usable screen found' something like that.
this is the only distro that i have (and the only that i can have) so i guess i really have to make this work.
thanks guys. :)
