Thyralax Report post Posted February 1, 2009 hit start button, then select control panel then system, look for the display adapters tree, this should tell you what card you have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gampa Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Your 3D acceleration isn't working. You need to install the correct driver from Nvidia. I found this one for Win XP: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html I hope it's not the same one you've already been trying to install. It seems that the Vanta chipset is pretty old (never heard about it before, btw ^^), that latest driver is from 2005. I hope EL works for you when you install the driver.

Asakura Report post Posted February 2, 2009 yeah i already had that one but it wont start the setup after the download so i figured maybe i had the wrong version as in vanta wasnt in the list they gave at nvidias update site but when i searched for it it was there but this one doesnt work either. just shuts down when i wanna setup.
