new nvidia drivers, both wintel and linux

[verbatim]

has anybody else upgraded to the new NVIDIA drivers for linux?



anybody have any problems?




im wondering cause i got royally screwed over by their linux drivers. i had the right os, right card, but now X wont start. Xconfigure just chooses the driver that phuckd my system to begin with, and when i force it to use VGA16 or something low of the like, it errors. now im forced to back up my valuable stuff to a server and re-install. i tried to re-install the existing drivers, but to no avail. my system was screwed up in other areas, so im gonna reinstall anyways, but does anybody have a clue?

one of my friends tried the new drivers for windows and he said it messed up his pc, but he could recover.


oh, and for reference: redhat 7.2, upgraded from 7.1 so the system thought it was 7.1, amd athlon 1.4ghz, 512mb ram, leadtek geforce2pro, 40gig ibm 60gxp, and nothing else out of the ordinary. thanks in advance.
