You do not say which type of nvidia card you have but perhaps this (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=28317.0) will help. If you have drivers in a mandriva package (rpm) try downloading from the Nvidia website and running the installer (bin). If you have the latest release from Nvidia try one of the previous packages. I use the 8776 driver for my GeF4 onboard as anything newer leads to that blackness.

    It works... Thanks... I've the Geforce4 like you and like you only the 8776 works...

   I tried the 96xx package, the 97xx and the 71xx from plf but all of them gave me a problem....

   Now i can play .. I'm happy ... Thanks a lot .. See you IG... Hasanie Sanid...  :D
