nVidia Geforce 2 MX.....
I just got a nVidia Geforce 2 MX card installed on my office PC. I'm running SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4, and Xfree86 4.0.2. WHAT A PAIN IS THE A$# TO INSTALL !!! After 4 hours of installing/removing drivers and 10 Excedrin, I finally got that sucker up and running. However I have the following problems. 1) I use sax2 to configure the nVidia card. Upon finishing sax2, I get a black screen. All Ctrl-Alt-F* are all black. I have to re-boot to get my console screens back. System is still up and running, just a black unreadable screen (i.e. no text is displayed). 2) If I have X up and running and I use Ctrl-Alt-F* to get a console, it is also black. Ctrl-Alt-F7 is supposed to return back to the X window but it does NOT. I just get a black screen. Yep I have to re-boot to get my consoles back. If I "logout" of X everything is OK. What's wrong? Any body know? It this typical? I never had these problems with the ATI Rage Pro card that used to be in my system. -- Christopher W.
