  1. Where it says "Virtual 800 600" in the screens section you could try changing it to something like: Modes "1024x768_85" "800x600" That may help. Let us know :) (that's without uninstalling the drivers) :)
  2. There's "svlc" (skinned vlc) in plf-free. Not so darn ugly :D
  3. You might want to have a look at this: Tor.
  4. Hi again Thought I'd have another go at installing these drivers and found this which helped a great deal. I changed all the - Virtual 1152 864 - lines to - Modes "1152x864" - and it worked. The trouble is if you run any programs that want to change the screen resolution (like a game, enemy territory in my case :)) it no longer does it automatically like it did before. So I changed - Modes "1152x864" - to - Modes "1152x864_75" "1024x768_85" - (including the vertical refresh rates that the old drivers had used) and everything works much like it did before. I don't think it's ideal though and wonder why nvidia changed the way their driver works? Maybe this will help :) Maybe not :D Linux is funny like that :huh: BTW, this is without the options I mentioned in my previous post :) cya
  5. Hi I had the "Fatal server error: no screens found" error. If you add these options to your xorg.conf 'device' section: Option "UseEdidFreqs" "FALSE" Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes" you might find a screen :) The drivers installed for me but X was in 1152x864 resolution and the monitor stuck in 1024x768. Didn't get round to finding out what I had to change in the xorg.conf to fix it :D and went back to 8178. The latest drivers handle refresh rates, screen modes etc. differently as far as I can gather. This might help: Vertical Refresh with 1.0-8756 or other posts on that forum. Hope I helped a little :)
  6. Hello I had a similar problem. Fixed it through the Mandriva Control Centre -> Boot -> Setup how system boots and click on Force No APIC and Force No Local APIC. May solve your problem :D Found the solution on another site, not too sure what APIC is or does Great site by the way, helped me many times over the past 2 years of using Mandrake/Mandriva. (still prefer Mandrake) :D I knew I'd register eventually :D cya
