Hi list, Has anyone any experience in using an nVidia GeForce 2MX graphics card with Debian?
I did an apt-get install nvidia-glx-src but although startx apparently gets xserver up and running there is no visual on F7.
(Sorry - a bit lacking in helpful info there, there is a bundle of stuff on screen comes up on the console from which I typed startx but I don't now how to trap it in a file.)
you can look in the logfile /var/log/Xfree86.0.log (probably, may have a slightly different name) anyhow if you don't need 3d acceleration with the card then you don't need anything apart from X4.x and I would try and get it working without the acceleration to start with as its easier to "upgrade" to the 3d from there.
Oh and to redirect stderr to a file when it isn't logged like X should you could do startx > logfile.xwindows 2>&1 (IIRC)
