System:

    PowerMac with dual G4 533MHz CPU's, 22" LCD display, NVIDIA GeForce
2MX [32MB]

==========
Is there anyone  out there who is running YDL-3.0 who has XF86 working
with a 22"LCD display and a NVIDIA GeForce 2MX?  If so,  please tell
how?

As they say,  "It used to work..." All was well when running YDL-2.3
with the 2.4.20-ben10 kernel.

The first hint that there would be "problems" came early in the install
process. The  graphics card and monitor were probed and properly
indentified, but the GUI-based installer was unviewable. The install was
performed using the text-based installer.

The system now comes up an runs properly in text mode.


Thoughts???
