    If this is the case then i am sure i have other problems because when ever i change the driver to anything other then vesa “X” fails to start and i am back to square one.

    Now after i installed

     

    (edfile:/home/HALO/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up_2.4.18_10.i686.rpm)

     

    and then

     

    (file:/home/HALO/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.tar.gz)

     

    i was only at that point able to assign my mointior and resoultion settings. i am still unable to change to 24 bit color without x failing.

     

    I found this link http://www.linuxiso.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1959 and tried what it suggested prior to my searching for help here.

     

    Once again thanks for the help

    Hello i was courious to know exactly what nvidia card your using and how you decide what drivers to download?

     

    I am new to linux and am currently running 8.0 and seem to be having some problems with my video card (PNY GFORCE4 TI4400) and display settings. I.E. When i change my display settings to any other setting then 16 bit color and 800x600 and reboot (log_on/log_off) X fails to load.

     

    I have also heard that Red Hat is not friendly with the Nforce chip set is there any truth to this?

     

    Apperciate the intell

    Thanks

    Scout
