OpenGL works great,  Than you for your help Thom.

Thanks for the wiki page.

The a/v wizard must have been defaulting to DVI, I switched it to s-video and it works great.

Thats great, but is there any way to fix that problem?

When I try to re-run the video wizard, the computer reboots, and after the kubuntu loading screen the tv goes blank. like it is not receiving a signal through the s-video.

I got it. now with the nvidia settings working, is there any way to change the UI without having to do the AV wizard?

my card is only working with static images, with no overlay.

I would like to use a better card, but I have a slim case with only a agp slot to work with.

After downloading nvidia drivers and bringing the system to runlevel1, I get
dcrouterlogin_
then I type:sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run
I get
File or directory does not exist.



If I try to install NVidia in Telinit  I get

My card supports DirectX and OpenGL. What do I need to support alpha blending?

I am trying to do this on a Pentium 4 core/hybrid with 4 gig of ram

I have a "NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX440 64MB AGP" video card and I am unable to get UI1 working. I keep getting "Orbiter failed to setup transparency." I have tried to  install new nvidia drivers, but when I run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-<version>-pkg1.run" it tells me that it is an invalid command. When I try to run nvidia-settings, it tells me that nvidia is not configured with Xorg, and to run nvidia-config. After I do that and restart the system, it flashes dcrouter login, and does not load.

I have been working on this for several days and am quite frustrated with LinuxMCE. All I want is UI1. any help would be appreciated.
