[plug] geforce2, xf86 336 and 40

I'm trying to get the nvidia drivers to work.

I;ve just done a fresh install of Mandrake 7.2.

Mandrake is telling me that XFree86 4.0.1 is installed:
rpm -q XFree86
% XFree86-4.0.1.mdk

but on starting X it clearly says it is version 3.3.6 - which doesn't
recognize "Modules" or "Drivers".

After trawling for a while the problem seems to be that XF86_SVGA is being
executed in the 'X' startup script.

I've now removed the 3.3.6 packages but the startup scripts are broken.

What files should be executed in what order for X 4.0.1?

Thanks

Carl
