But that's just what I did to get that error. I'm in X now, using the
"nvidia" driver, so no sweat. What about this:
>From nv(4x):

| RIVA 128 NV3
|
| RIVA TNT NV4
|
| RIVA TNT2 NV5
|
| GeForce 256, QUADRO NV10
|
| GeForce2, QUADRO2 NV11 & NV15 (except GeForce2 Go, which is NOT
| supported)
|
| GeForce3 NV20
'--
(mine's a Geforce4)
Looks like I can't use nv unless I (a) upgrade it (or all of X if they're
version-matched); or (b) convince it to treat my card as a lesser card. Any
ideas?
