Smartistic Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I installed linux mandriva on my toshiba (I made a partition from the windows c: hard disk for mandriva). I am facing 2 problems: 1) I can't resrtat the system from mandriva meaning that when I click on the restrat button mandriva shuts down but LILO (an interface which lets me choose what os to boot) won't appear and the system hangs. However I can restart from windows. 2)i am having graphic crashes (the screen turns white I lose many graphic contents like icons windows and i get funny colors) mandriva knows what's my graphic card it recognized it during the os installation (nvidia geforce go 6600). I checked my hardware configurations these are under unknown/other: Vendor: Intel Corp.

ianw1974 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 What model laptop is it? I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 with Mandriva 2006 and WIndows dual boot, all is OK. If you can list hardware too, that would help. From prompt, do "lspci" to list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 mandriva knows what's my graphic card it recognized it during the os installation (nvidia geforce go 6600). If you installed mandriva 2006, you need to install the nvidia driver if you have not done so already. The open source driver for that card is known to be buggy and will give you the problems set forth in your items 1 and 2. You need the closed source linux driver from nvidia which is not included on the downloaded version of mdv2006. If you haven't installed the nvidia driver, post back.

ianw1974 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have a GEForce Go 420 in my laptop, and none of the drivers from nvidia work for me (Toshiba Satellite - Work laptop, not the one mentioned before, that has Intel). The default Mandriva 2006 drivers work for me on my laptop, but no real glx performance. You might be lucky with your geforce go card to get a driver that works from nvidia. As pmpatrick says, download this and install, it's real easy. You will need to install your kernel-source that matches your installed kernel.
