Please help me.

Important: I have a geforce 4 graphics card. How do I install debian with latest Xfree86 so supports my graphics card?

I'm trying to install debian woody r3. The thing is though after install debian, the X server trys to start and doesn't. When I look at the error report it says only support from Geforce 1 to Geforce 3.

Ta bye woot to you too...

Nothing wrong with the old installer m8, just make sure you do some proper research. Woody isn't really useful for Desktop environments, you'd better use testing or unstable (which I do) for those purposes.
