I've got the Nvidia RIVA TNT 64M PCI (I made a question here a cuople of days ago). My computer has an ASUS-SP97 motherboard with a SIS5597 vga chipset and it doesn't have AGP, only PCI and ISA slots. I upgraded my BIOS to make it work with hard-disk bigger than 8G, and also to allow to switch off the onboard VGA chipset..... With Linux and Windows it works nice :( I've tried with XFree86-4.2 and XFree86-4.3, but no success. Sometimes, when I lauch "X", I see on the screen as if the computer had reboot, I mean that I see the information about the NVidia vga card that I usually see when I switch on the computer for the first time. It's very strange because I've been working with my NVidia card on 5.0-DP1, both with the "nv" driver and with a driver for FreeBSD-5.0 before nvidia released his own driver. I don't know what I've done during this 2 weeks, but now I don't have X system any more (lol). Im really fed up with this because I was getting used to using KDE (lol again :) If anybody can help me....I will give my computer away to him, I swear Thanks :( -- JFRH
