Well, first of all, after getting 6.4 reinstalled, I find that it won't boot. I get to the LILO prompt, and I get nothing. Not an L, not an LI, etc., just a cursor. I use the SuSE boot disk, and tell it to boot the installed system & it works fine. I think I can fix this, but I cannot get X configured. I have tried the generic X servers, and tried picking a number of other cards to no avail. What can I use to get this card up and running? I have Xfree 4.02 and the SuSE NVIDIA drivers (rpms) burned on a CD - and I thought about loading them up & seeing what happens... Any other advice?

Main advice here is to make sure your BIOS is setup correctly with assign IRQ to VGA set to enable and PnP OS set to no. Ctrl-Alt-F10 if you get any problems, this will give you better information than the logs. To fix booting, you can re-run lilo, or check with yast to make sure its all set the way you want it (you probably knew this anyway :-)). Matthew On Mon, 29 Jan 2001 Cleary_Mike@emc.com wrote:
