Hi:

   Thanks you for the binaries. But I still am having problems with my
Display driver.
When I boot it stops with and unknown controller "nvidia" error.

I have added the following entry into the Vgadb:
Note: My addition is the GeForce2 info.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
ctlr
 0xC00BD="NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS VGA BIOS"          # My Video Card
 0xC00A2="NVIDIA TNT2 Model 64 BIOS V2.05.13 " # NVIDIA TNT Model 64
 link=vga
 ctlr=nvidia linear=1
 hwgc=nvidiahwgc
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

VGAINFO file contained the following:
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
sequencer->enter on
sequencer->leave on
dbctlr: unknown controller "nvidia" ctlr
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Any idea what I may have done wrong?

Once again thanks:

Rick G.
