[mythtv-users] Advice on getting Geforce MX440 to work

[Derek M. A. Lee-Wo]

I just thought I would share some advice....

I was trying to setup a RedHat 9 box with MythTV last night.  I was
following Jarod's well-written instructions when I got to the part about
using apt-get to install the nVidia drivers.  I installed the drivers as
instructed, but when I tried to bring up X-Windows after this, I kept
getting a "no screens found" error message.  Nothing I tried fixed the
problem.

Eventually, I decided to download the drivers directly from nVidia and
ran the install process.  It had to do some recompiling, but once that
was done, I was able to get X-Windows to come up.

Hopefully this would help other people witha similar problem save some
troubleshooting time.

Derek
