<P><FONT size=2>One thing I forgot to include in my previous post - be sure to
read the documentation and look at NVidia's example XF86Config file (or whatever
x.org calls it) - certain modules need to be disabled (dri, something else that
I forget...). It's no big deal, since the nvidia module provides this
functionality. </FONT></P></DIV><!-- Converted from text/plain format -->

those cards have to offer, you should use the nvidia (that's the actual
module name used by X) driver downloaded directly from NVidia. It makes a world
of difference in performance, is easy to install, and is completely distribution
neutral. It will work fine with XFree86 or X.org</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
