I can't figure out how to get myb card installed without X crashing! Mandrake 7.1 sees it as a geforce 256 (generic) during install. What driver do I use? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

Just let it think it is a GeForce card, and DON'T test the X set up. Once the installation is finished, you will need to install XFree86 4.x (if you didn't select it)and the NVIDIA drivers.

You can find the correct steps here:
