nVidia 2 - I downloaded this last night, have not had opportunity to

I am hoping that the video driver is the problem, if it was the issue
I would expect that I would not be able to open any site, same with
the other hardware (mouse / keyboard).

Keyboard/mouse locks generally happens when the graphics card driver crashes,
and this is most frequent on the closed source drivers.


Which version of xorg/XFree86?
Link to your xorg.conf/XF86Config ?
Need to learn about this and how to identify which kernel I am
using ????

Gives you kernel information: uname -a

Gives you xorg/xf86 version: X -version

You have your X configuration file located /etc/X11/xorg.conf or
/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Xorg has it's own log file, /var/log/Xorg.0.log (XF86 has a simlare named
file, don't remember the exact name).

Information about your hardware you get with: lspci

Information about which modules has been loaded: lsmod


As the X configuration and log file are usually quite long, it's better to
post an URL where you stored a copy of them than cut'n'paste.

I feel lucky, from work I saved the link to here and it did not lock
me up, logged into Google groups and am now posting this, so far I
have this:

uname -a
Linux linux 2.4.21-99-athlon #1 Wed Sep 24 13:34:32 UTC 2003 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

lsmod found/worked
lspci not found
x -version not found
/var/log/Xorg.0.log not found
/var/log/XFree86.0.log found ????
/etc/X11/XF86Config found

I have yet to try to install the driver for nVidia nForce2, now to
figure out how to do the install of this thing and which driver to
actually try to install. Downloaded "NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.21.zip" the
package contains a folder for SuSE10 but not for SuSE9. Can I do this
through YaST or SaX2 ? This is taking me back to the 80's and 90's...

Motherboard is: Biostar M7NCD
Video chipset: North Bridge: NVIDIA nFORCE2 400
Video chipset: South Bridge: NVIDIA nFORCE2 MCP/MCP-T

Will post this and look for the "lspci" command to identify my
hardware.

Thanks,
Scott M.
