So that > must be different than your GeForce, right? Yes, the "GeForce2 GTS" and "GeForce 256" are different chips. There's also an even newer "GeForce2 Ultra". The GeForce 256 works fine with XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.0.1. The GeForce2 is a different story: After much research I decided that it *might* be possible to get this card working with 4.0.1 if you use some binary-only Linux drivers from Nvidia; with 3.3.6 it looks completely hopeless. At that point I threw the TNT2 card back in the PC and put the GeForce2 back in the Win2000 PC I borrowed it from.
