| 163840 | 2003-07-30 05:46:00 | I have Mandrake 9.1 installed on a separate hard drive on my Win XP comp. After many installs I managed to get the sound working but I am not getting to grips with the command line in Linux and at the moment my patience is getting tested. Who said Mandrake was user friendly? I need to get my dual monitor set up working before I spit the dummy, My display card is a Nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX 400 which works perfectly on Windows XP but has not been even recognised by Mandrake. The Linux default drivers for the card are Nvidia DDR but I suspect something else is needed or a command to start the process. Anyone have any ideas. |

| 163843 | 2003-07-30 21:28:00 | Thanks for the tip. I have seen this page before when I first installed Mandrake and I put it in the too hard basket. However now that I have a little more experience I'll try it again. | i-gordon (962) | ||
