From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: During installation, my Geforce4-MX card was detected as a Geforce4. After installing, X would not start properly. When I re-ran the installer choosing Geforce2-MX as my video card (which I understand is a closer match), it worked great. I was under the impression that all Nvidia cards used a single "nv" driver, and that this sort of thing shouldn't happen, but nevertheless, it did. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get yerself a budget Geforce4-MX video card 2. Let Phoebe's installer detect the card as a Geforce4 3. Watch X lock up. Actual Results: X locks up. Expected Results: The Geforce4-MX series should detect as Geforce4-MX's, or at least Geforce2-MX's. Even if the X lockup cannot be reproduced, there should be a distinction. Additional info:
