1 I say in the newsletter that the stabilization of Xorg 7.1 was being
2 held up until there where updated drivers for Nvidia that added
3 support for this version. So does this mean that you MUST use the
4 latest Nvidia driver to use Xorg 7.1? I know that I had an issue with
5 the libraries not getting stuck in the right spot using legacy drivers
6 with Xorg 7, but I assume there is some additional issue here am I
7 correct?
8
9 My problem is that I cannot use any driver after 7664 with my Geforce4
10 MX460, despite the fact that it is listed as one of the supported
11 boards on the newer driver. Every time I try it, my screen goes blank
12 and the system completely locks up.
13
14 So I guess I have two questions:
15
16 Does anyone know how to make 7664 work with Xorg 7.1 (I haven't tried it yet)?
17
18 Does anyone know of some configuration I might be doing wrong that is
19 preventing the new drivers from working?
20
21 Thanks,
22 Troy
