  • G400 and Linux

    Anyone running Linux with the G400? I've been trying to install Mandrake 6.0 all day unsucsessfully. The G400 isn't in the list of video cards and when I do boot to the OS the screen resolution is 640 x 480 (or larger) and I cannot navigate. It is unusable like this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Get the XFree86 3.3.5 SVGA driver. Redhat already has the 3.3.5 RPMs out but I don't know about Mandrake.
