    Question Nvidia 6600gt help



    hi, i just installed mandriva 06 free version on my comp and when i get to the end of the installation where to check the settings and stuff, i go into the graphic settings and select my monitor and my graphics which is a nvidia 6600GT, the card is not there instead it has selected geforce FX and the only 6 series is the 6800, i have selected both and both times X failed to work, it just splits the screen into two small parts which are pink and green colours.
