Hallo everyone, I've struggled the last days during an extensive installation session, trying to get Linux running on a Vaio Laptop with Geforce2 Go. Unfortunately, this chipset is not supported by XFree 4.2.1 and therefore won't run with Debian 3.0 or testing. I've tried the NVidia binary driver with depressing results. Whenever X closes and I get back to console the screen freezes, while the notebook itself is still responding. I've tried this through all kind of XF86Config files and all X Versions up to 4.3.0. I finally installed even SuSE with the same result. I guess it's a general issue with this particular video card, maybe the bios. If someone has a good idea, I'm wide open, but right now I would like some other advice. What options do I have to install X 4.3 with a Debian system (stable or unstable) and not confuse apt? I tried the rude way once and installed the binaries, which led to a completly unmaintainable system - which is no option at all. Any help will be appreciated and yes, there is absolutly no issue when running the notebook with X 4.3 and it's standard nv driver. Best regards, Jonathan
