Okay, hardware is my weakest area so i could definetly use a lil help w/ this. I don't think it's that the video card is incompatible with my motherboard because when I boot up into windows (got a dual linux/windows boot) and i'll get video as far as, say the windows boot screen, however when windows finishes loading all I get is a blank screen. The monitor of course stays on, but its just blackness, so I just plug it back into my onboard video and it works fine. Btw, lol its a Geforce 2 (old I know but i'm on a TIGHT budget). Now, it's a PCI card, but my comp does have an AGP port. Ugh, I doubt this is even enough information so just let me know if it's not. Btw, i use win xp pro, and redhat 7.3 if that helps at all. X won't load when i try 2 use the card, but I'm still able to see the text prompt for it. any help would be appreciated
