I need to know what driver to use

I have a dell Inspiron 8100 laptop. I found a site that tells what to do in setup of redhat 9 for my model, but If i select what it says to select, x-windows stops loading.... so what do I do? with these settings, my display is very small in the center of my screen...

does it have an nvidia card? get the drivers from www.nvidia.com and follow the steps there.

ah. thanks. I was wondering about that, but I didn't know what I needed. Now I just have to boot up linux..

wait: once i install the drivers, should I change the display to "generic laptop display capable of 1600x1200", or just change the resolution?

well, just make sure that the resolution u want doesn't exceed that capabilities of ur LCD. if it can do 1600x1200, then use it.
