Yes, that option does not work. The GeForce 2 Go card comes with a Dell Inspiron 8000 (it's optional, that or an ATI). That came up with the following eror. Fatal server error: XFree86 has found a valid card configuration. Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h. Please forward 'scanpci -v' output to XFree86 support team. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. I sent those details off to the above address. With the "Linux XF86Config" sorry for the bad terminology there, it says Fatal server error: no screens found thanks Darren > am using 4.0.3 wth Geforce 2 MX, which version are you using?
