I am not new to linux world but i use only in graphical mode for light use and never use texdt or command mode.
I recently added a graphics card to my system and no linux distro work on it.
my configuration is :
Asrock p4i45 GV 5.0 MOBO ( intel 845 chipset )
petium 4 -- 2.0 ghz processor
512 MB RAM ( two sticks of 256 mb each)
samsung sync master 773 s monitor
and lastly the AGP card 8x
Palit nvidia geforce 4 MX 4000
before adding AGP card all distros work perfectly but after that nothing work..
so i format my harddisk and then install again
i install
win 98 ( 25 GB)
back up ( 25 GB)
and the remaining space is for linux
now the problem
I disable Internal VGA from BIOS and Enable AGP card ( only 1 can be enabled at a time), so i connect my monitor to agp card as it was working fine.
i installed win 98 fine and no problem was there. and then i decide to install linux.
fedora core5 ,open suse 10.1, ubuntu ; they all hangs at a point after 2 min.
and give graphic error code like
{ 30 20 ff 223 90 ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... ff ee 30 40 90}
something like above on black screen .
then i choose mandrake 10.1 and it install flawlessly and prompt me to configure graphics ; it said two cardds r detected intel 845 and nvidia geforce 4 ( generic drivers ) ; i choose nvidia and click on 'test' and it worked . after that click 'ok' and then 'reboot '...
But after rebooting i get the same above mentioned error . and no distro is working . i have also tried some live cd such as knopix , gentoo but all give same error.
if i disable AGP card in bios and then enable Internal VGA then they all works and there is no problem.
Also my AGP card is not bad as it is working perfectly in windows..
plz solve my problem ( as soon as possible) plz plz plz plz
i want a linux distro dual boot with my windows ...
Any solution with any distro
the iron point is that my graphic card is listed to be supported with all of them.
