I'm trying to set up Debian on a friend's computer since he's finally decided to give up the evil M$ empire. He's got a GeForce 2 MX200 hooked up to a Gateway FPD1500 flat-screen. (TFT) I compiled 2.4.17 for him and got the latest NVidia drivers (2802) and using the latest Sid packages. If I start it up using the "nv" driver, the screen flickers for a while and then dies. If I start it up using the "nvidia" driver, everything loads fine and I get the "NVidia" logo on the screen. Then the computer just hard locks. Everything dies. No network connectivity, keyboard is dead, no HD activity, etc. Very annoying. I've attached a copy of the... dammit... my "eks" key just died on my laptop... hmm... "eks" as in ""F86. Well, I've included a copy of ""F86Config-4. I commented out the mouse lines since he's using a MS optical USB mouse and I haven't configured USB yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Ale"" ---Begin ""F86Config-4--- ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.) # # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the # "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below.
