well, I tried the legacy drivers but it didn't work. I got the same garbled messages during the driver installation.
I notice one strange thing also - the installer asks for some basic system files. It requested the packages called 'binutils' 'gcc' and 'make'.
Isn't that supposed to be installed WITH the basic system?
I'm using nVidia GeForce 4, with 128Mb of RAM and Mandriva Linux 2009.0 Free64 installation disc.
It was not easy to find that distro - all that's available on Mandriva's site is 32-bit. I'm not even sure where I found the 64-bit version..
Is 2009.0 Free64 the latest revision?
I'd really appreciate some step by step instructions how to get it to work.
I'm not a Linux guru but I like it's stability. Could someone help me a little more that 'RTFM"??
thanks
