To get it to initially work, you can edit the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and find this section: ============================================ Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" EndSection ============================================
Change "nv" to "vesa"
Then you should at least get some X capability.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
