I'm using an Athlon processor with the k_athlon (2.4.20 kernel) from FTP 
Install. 

 gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
 uname -a
 Linux dev2 2.4.20-4GB-athlon #1 Wed Apr 16 14:44:03 UTC 2003 i686 unknown 
unknown GNU/Linux

I've finally got the Nvidia installer to work, however it fails when I run SaX2 
with SaX.log finishing with

         (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (width too large for 
virtual size)
	(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0
	(EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***
	(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
	(II) UnloadModule: "int10"

	(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
	
	Fatal server error:

I've got Geforce 440 MX and a 17" Unbranded Monitor that has worked 
previously.  Is anyone able to help, please.

Adam
