nVidia does not supply Open Source drivers for GNU/Linux. Thus some extra work is required to get nVidia graphics chips working. Bartok (97.2) has an nVidia Riva Ultra 64 graphics chip. The appropriate driver was installed and configured.

$ wajig install nvidia-kernel-2.4.25-1-686-smp nvidia-glx

Then edit Path[]/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to remove the two lines:

Load "GLcore" Load "dri"

and to replace:

Driver "nv"

with

Driver "nvidia"

The nVidia splash screen should then be displayed when X is started.
