nVidia _stopped_ supporting the NV0x (Riva TNT2, GeForce [1]) as of the Forceware 75 (1.0-75xx) drivers. You have to use an earlier Forceware driver for support. Are you _sure_ it's using the "nvidia" driver?
The last release for NV0x (TNT2/GeForce), NV10 (GeForce2) and NV15 (GeForce2 GTS) was 1.0-7174: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7174.html Those cards are 6+ generations** (over 5 years**) old. If you have a NV11 (GeForce2 Go, MX), NV17/18 (GeForce4 MX), NV2x (GeForce 3/4Ti) or later, all current drivers work: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html -- Bryan **NOTE: nVidia's Law is that GPUs double in performance every 9-12 months. Moore's Law is that CPUs double in performance very 18-24 months. nVidia generations: 2005 G7x GeForce 7 2004 NV4x GeForce 6 2003 NV3x GeForce FX 2002 NV25-28 GeForce4 Ti 2001 NV2x GeForce3 2000 NV15/11* GeForce2/MX* (and NV17/18 GeForce4 MX in 2002) 1999 NV0x Vanta/TNT/TNT2 *NOTE: There are a few slight, but key changes in the NV11 ("MX" and "Go") that the earlier NV15 (GeForce2/GTS) did not have, hence why the NV15 is _not_ supported in ForceWare 75+, but NV11 is. -- Bryan J.
