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) :)

There's "svlc" (skinned vlc) in plf-free. Not so darn ugly :D

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 :)

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 :)

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
