You get 2d, semi-accelerated (that is, XAA only) graphics, at whatever resolution you want, with X's "nv" driver. Installing the NVidia kernel stuff + other libraries gets you better acceleration on X, Render, Xv, and of course hardware-accelerated GLX. It's actually not a bad card, lots of speed and decent quality... but the module is occasionally flaky, and, of course, undebuggable. :) --hobbs --_wYTFc=.5t?xITcA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE86VG4Q3MWXxdwvVwRAm6RAKCEtwwWR0S0IG3FPyBplZeZVERFrQCdHlXp We0KnhbMKUMfOm0Yg+NpeVA= =Go8v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --_wYTFc=.5t?xITcA--
