Problems installing GEForce4 MX440 in Suse 8.2
My computer has an AMD 2200 Athlon XP processor in it and the video card is a GeForce MX440 128MB DDR 8x AGP. I have Suse 8.2 and cannot get the card installed. I did the online update. It ask me if I wanted to install it. I said yes and my computer lock up. My screen turn black. I also tried the nvidia installer from nvidia.com and had problems. I install it but when I ran sax2 and chose the Geforce4 Mx440 card and hit finalize, I got some garbage on my screen and it lock up again. I tried the suse 8.1 nvidia drivers at the ftp site and the same thing! I used the IA32 drivers. Should I have use the AMD64 drivers?

The AMD64 drivers are for AMD 64bit processors only. It will be better that you don't use them. If you have more than 1GB of RAM installed try mem=512M or mem=768M as option in your grub or lilo configuration file "/boot/grub/menu.lst" or "/etc/lilo.conf". Best regards Stefan
