This is more of an Xfree86 issue so I recommend checking their site too. The TNT2 has only generic support (ie not specifically card by card.) that may or may not work well for that card. I would personally recommend against it though. I have a cardex Riva TNT2 M64 and the best resolution I can get in X is 800x600 even though the card and monitor can do 1600x1200. I've heard the M64 is a "weaker" version of the TNT2 so that may be part of the problem. I want a card that works better, so I'm going to search through XFree86's site and mailing lists and find the cheapest card I can that is well supported and try that. FWIW Matrox cards are supposed to work really well with XFree86, I just don't see any very cheap yet.
