You have to do a little work, but the nvidia binary drivers have been debianized, so there shouldn't be too much pain. $ apt-cache search nvidia|grep -- -src nvidia-glx-src - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver nvidia-kernel-src - NVIDIA binary kernel module I'm perfectly satisfied with my generic Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 card that runs 2d stuff perfectly well with the open-source nv driver that comes with XFree v4.x. (3d stuff is powered via the host CPU and is really slow.) (Yes, by today's standards it's old and slow, but just like my Athlon 1GHz CPU, it's Fast Enough.) Nvidia chips up to and including GeForce3 are supported by the nv driver. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Basically, I got on the plane with a bomb.
