linux is causing me headaches :(

Damn IA32.  Why don't they label it "x86" like they should?  :mad:

That's the correct driver.

aegcp:
thanks. I downloaded that and installed it. It executed without any problems.

When I rebooted the maching it appeared the NVIDIA logo, but my screen looks worst, even more blurry and huge. Some of the icons in my desktop are collapsed, one of top of the other.

This is depressing guys. What else do I need to do? I followed the instructions in the nvidia README file.

I tried with resolution 1024x768, with color depth:

millions of colors
256
and thousands of colors

with no luck at all.

I also looked in my nvidia log file, and found these interesting things (WW stands for "warning"):


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

any suggestions? what else can I do?

Also, if you look in my first post, the section "monitor" of my XF86Config file has a flat monitor configured (dell1800 fp). I was using two monitors when I had windows installed (the laptop and this dell), but now I'm only using the laptop (since I find it too hard to configure both). COuld that be the problem?

thanks again

Hmm.  Blurry and huge...what's the native resolution of your LCD?  If you use a lower one it gets blurry.

Other than that I'm not sure, you'll have to wait for someone better at this than me.

I _think_ it's working...

a friend of mine happen to have the same laptop, so I asked him to send me the config file.

Now even the scroll ball in my mouse works!

thanks a lot...
