Redhat 8.0 can only set the card to work at 16 depth and 1078x768 resolution

the nvidia driver to get the true potential of the card.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-12-08 11:21:14 UTC 
This isn't a bug, GeForce 4 is not supported by XFree86 4.2.x, and so
is not supported by Red Hat Linux 8.0.  XFree86 4.3.0 will support
this card when it comes out in late January however.
