Question about Nvidia on my Toshiba

[Rony <rony_ml@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Okay, can startx now and I have other question. From the Sarge package
list, I can see a package called [nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686] but I
cannot find similar package for kernel 2.6. I'm using 2.6.7 kernel. Is
the Nvidia driver supported internally by the 2.6 kernel? From
XFree86.0.log can be seen that NV driver supports my GeForce4 420 Go.

(--) Chipset GeForce4 420 Go found


Does that mean in my XF86Config-4, Driver "nv" is capable of supporting
3D acceleration? From other article, I learn that must change to Driver
"nvidia".

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]"
    Driver        "nv"
    BusID        "AGP:01:00:0"
    Option        "NoDCC" "1"
    Option        "IgnoreEDID" "1"
EndSection


Please advice. Thx in advance.
