Re: nVidia RIVA TNT - any success story?ll

[Kenny Speer <kenny speer comcast net>]

If you have an NVidia card you should use the drivers from NVidia.  They 
are very good at providing linux drivers for their cards (unlike ATI). 
They have always worked great for me.  Go to their website and download 
the drivers. If you need to, just use Vesa until you get the correct 
drivers.  They will almost surely be better than the ones that ship with 
  either XFree or the kernel.
