I'm using an Asus A7NX8-VM motherboared with an AMD 1.6 GHz CPU. My graphics card is a FeForce 4 (It's a GeForce Asylum, specifically, if that makes a difference). I'm using Mandrake 9.2. Here's the rub: It was working fine under 9.1. I played Enemy Territory, Jedi Outcast, the works, no problem (even got some actual work done from time to time). I upgraded to 9.2, and the first time it booted to X (or tried to) the screen filled with funky ASCII characters and then locked up. I was forced to do a hard reboot, then it yelled at me for not shutting down cleanly. So I booted to safe mode and edited my XF86onfig-4 to change "nvidia" to "nv" and then X started, only without the real drivers obviously. So I got the latest Nvidia drivers, and they wouldn't boot at all. I searched various forums until I found the one on here recommending getting the 4496 version instead of the latest and installing the "good" kernel source, which I did. I ran the .run to install the 4496 driver, and it complained about the kernel not being compiled with the same compiler. So I set the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 and tried again. Changing "nv" back to "nvidia" again in the config file I bravely rebooted and got the error log I posted above. I'm getting ready to reinstall 9.1, but that would be a huge pain, so if I can solve this without having to do a complete rollback that would be super.

Okay, help a clueless Linux newbie here. I've been through all this. I got the "good" kernel source above. I had to set the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH to make it work (and that's worrisome in itself). It said it installed. I ran it. It said my graphics card power cable was unplugged--which makes me wonder how I can see the text on the screen that says the graphics card power cable is unplugged, but that's another issue. It said to set a flag in my XF86Config (not XF86Config-4, but when it didn't work in just the one it said I set it in both and tried again) to prevent it from checking that power cable. This is what's in my log now: [i] XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 9 May 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-23mdksmp i686 [ELF] Build Date: 10 September 2003 Before reporting problems, check [url="http://www.XFree86.Org/"]http://www.XFree86.Org/[/url] to make sure that you have the latest version.

I installed ET on my Linux machine but am having trouble getting started because of the screen resolution. When it fires up and asks me to fill in my profile information, I can't see any of the buttons to continue because they're way off the bottom of the screen. ;( Just hitting the return key doesn't do it. Is there some kind of a command-line switch I can set when I run et that will make it all fit on the screen? Thanks!
