Nvidia splash screen, now what?
I installed the Nvidia drivers and now get the splash screen when I boot up. However my GForce4 MX card is not detected. Under Display for a video card is selected ALL. I do not see the GForce4 MX under Nvidia. Nor am I able to run any GL type screensavers.
I'm a noobe learning fast, but I must be missing something. Please help
Thanks

You should check the default depth of your display I believe if it is above 16 bit the screensavers will not work. To check if it is working open a console window and glxgears and you should see some spinning wheels (gears) this should work at higher resoulutions at least it does on my machine. A link to the Nvidia forum if you have not already found it.
BTW if you want to get rid of the logo your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 should look like this:
Code:
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "on"

You should also install yanc:
http://yanc.sourceforge.net/index-en.html
It allows easy configuration of things and includes a button to turn on/off the nvidia logo. Yanc is also the easiest way I have found to configure TV-out.

OK, I get the spinning gears. But with the vid card detected as All/All I am not able to change my screen resolution from 640X480 color 8. Should I choose one of the cards listed in the Nvidia selection even though there is no GForce 4?
Thanks
Also dl yanc
yanc say's the drivers to old!

Thx for the glxgears and yanc tips.
--BTW, I replaced my ancient Riva TNT2 card with a Geforce4 MX440, and in both Linux + Win everything works perfectly. I did reinstall the Linux driver JIC, but not sure if it's absolutely necessary.
@Dave - did you follow all of nvidia's directions when installing the drivers? You have to comment out stuff like this in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
## Load "GLcore" # xxx 2003.0528 Removed for nvidia
## Load "dri" # xxx Removed for nvidia
.
.
.
# Driver "nv" # xxx Removed for nvidia
Driver "nvidia" # xxx 2003.0528

I used the old installer script to do the install. But I also checked the config files for the changes. I also tried most current drivers from nvidia but they would not install says I have a gcc error. I tried:
IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH
export EXPORT_CC_MISMATCH=1
Nothing seemed to happen when I entered these in root still got the same errors. If it would help I can post the install log file.
Thanks

Try export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 before the compile.

Nope get the same error gcc-check error 1
Something about failed cc sanity (They must know my history...)
Anyways, open to other ideas
Thanks
