Re: Graphics Card

["Jeff Palmer" <somedamnfool@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

umm..... it's a chipset or two previous to the one i have... however it 
is supported in XFree86 3.3.3 and if it's anywhere near as good as the 
riva TNT support... (which is near perfect from what i've seen) then it 
should run.... nVidia support (nv1 nv2 nv3 Riva128 128ZX and riva TNT) 
is all in the 3.3.3 SVGA server.... so yah.. just upgrade X... and 
unless u feel like buying another copy of MetroX or the AcceleratedX 
server..... use XFree86 3.3.3 

by the way.... my agp STB Velocity 4400 (the replacment for the 128... 
TNT based) works just fine :) in case you hadn't been reading that other 
thread which somehow got talking about video cards :)
