    DVD for Red Hat 8.0?

    Ok now im really lost. Would this be the reason I could not get anything installed from the links above? SCOUT "Women are A Beautiful Evil"
  8. 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

    Yet Another NVIDIA Question or Two

    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 Scout FYI this folder is empty "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386".[/b]
