The geforce 2 is just a graphics chipset. Many different vendors use
this chipset in their graphic boards. Nvidia makes and licences this
to other manufacturers like Herculese and Creative Labs.

I have a herculese Geforce 2 MX and this works fine with XFree86 4.0.3

You won't get 3D stuff working though, because this part of the driver
is a closed-source unit that nvidia have only released for linux.
