The X folks have put in support for the Geforce4, but the X server in Debian testing (or unstable, last time I checked) doesn't yet have those changes.
So for now either compile X yourself, or use the proprietary driver from NVidia (directions for installation are available at their website). The latter requires installing a binary kernel module, which will taint your kernel (making getting help when it crashes more difficult). The free driver will come out in time, but it doesn't do as good a job at 3d accelleration as the proprietary one. (I presume it does some, but I don't know.) --Pete On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 05:16:39PM +1000, Shaun Nykvist wrote: > Hi all > > I am having difficulties trying to get a geforce4 420 card to run > under debian.
