OK, I finally took my own advice and put LINUX
(dual boot) on my main box.
It's a COMPAQ deskpro PIII 800, and I had this
redhat 6.0 cd lying around, so I got a 2nd HD and the install
went fine, it boots OK win or linux.
Then there's X! I only get 640x480 video.
It has an NVIDIA RIVA 64 with TNT chipset
AGP video card with 32 megs of video RAM.
I went to the NVIDIA website, and they didn't
list a driver for older than redhat 6.1
I downloaded it anyway(RPM format),
but naturally it won't install because
it's not for RH 6.0.
I suppuse you're going to tell me to upgrade
to 7.2
My question is, does RH 7.2 come with support
for this card, or will I still be hunting for drivers?
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

Yes. 7.2 does support it.
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
