glx and dri work for me.  I basically just followed the instructions and
set the driver to "nvidia" without touching the rest of my X config.  I am
running -stable from a week or so ago with a TNT2 M64 on a plain old
desktop.  X seems a lot faster, but I don't think that xterm's and a web
browser are any way to test this.  :)  Everything does seem a lot
"smoother", however.

Now, if only winex would compile. :)


If it's relevant, here is the line from dmesg:

nvidia0: <RIVA TNT2 Model 64> mem
0xe2000000-0xe3ffffff,0xe0000000-0xe0ffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1


And from 'pciconf -v -l':

nvidia0@pci1:0:0:       class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x002d10de
rev=0x15 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Nvidia Corporation'
    device   = 'NV5 TNT2 Model 64 / TNT2 Model 64 Pro'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA
