[plug] GeForce Video card question

Chris.

Go to www.evil3d.net <http://www.evil3d.net>  (Thanks again Hooli ;-)), and
read the article on installing the drivers for all Nvidia cards (including
Geforce2mx) for your particular distribution. None of the distros fully
config the Nvidia cards for 2D and 3D during installation, just basic 2D.

Then, install Quake 3 Arena (demo or full version), run it and then pick
your jaw up from off the ground.

Well, I finally did it. I went out last night and brought myself a faster
video card (faster than a S3 Virge).
As expected Linux did not come up so I started to re-install my RedHat 6.2.
Trouble is what option do I select for the video card?
It is a GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card. Model # CMX2A-TV that says it is powered
by the nVIDIA GeForce2 MX 256-bit 3D graphics engine.
It also says "Full compliant support for OpenGL 1.2 for all Windows
operating systems and Linux". They give you all the instructions on
installing it on Windoze, but nothing for Linux (when will they learn).

Could someone please help?

Regards
Chris
