getting my configuration to work...

[kraylus]

will it be difficult getting my geforce 2 mx400 and athlon xp 1800 (256mb ddr ram) to work with X? i know that the driver install for nvidia cards are quite different than normal. putting the howto aside, are there any quirks i should know about?

would i notice a difference between something like flux and kde? would kde run well? what about gnome2....

thanks!

This particular topic is covered in the Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide. Here are also a couple troubleshooting links from this very forums: Link #1, Link #2.

Have fun!

Thanks for taking the time to gather those pointers, kirill. Locking this thread in favor of them.
