In the readme it explains how to start
the nvidia module on boot up it the
correct way to start a module. In
addition the readme has the neccessary
info on configuring X.

Hi All.
I have a Nvidia GeForce2 MX 400 video
card that I'm using with Mandrake
9.1. I installed the latest Nvidia
driver available from:
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=li..._ia32_1.0-4363
Problem is that it seems rather
flakey. It will work for awhile and
then X will fail to load. The
/var/log/mdkkde.log writes the
following entry:
-begin-
Using vt 7
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize
the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a
usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
-end-
If I:
insmod ./nvidia.o
it will work fine again, for awhile.
Anyone else experienced the same? I
think this driver is buggy. This
is becoming rather annoying...
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
As a workaround I have added:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o
to my /etc/rc.local
Cheers
