I believe information below will be useful for many owners of NVidia GeForce2
cards. [forwarded from Xpert mailing list of Xfree86 project]
XF 4.0.1f can help to people who were struggling with NVidia
[closed-source] binary driver.
Also, interesting information for guys who still can accept binary drivers:
in week or two, new / updated NVidia binary driver will be released, which
will support Twinhead. It will be available from NVidia site.

Support for a whole bunch of new chipsets was added by NVIDIA.
The GeForce2 wasn't even supported in 4.0.1. I added line
acceleration as well. These are the chipsets supported in 4.0.1f
that aren't supported in 4.0.1
{ NV_CHIP_GEFORCE2GTS, "GeForce2 GTS"},
{ NV_CHIP_GEFORCE2GTS_1,"GeForce2 GTS (rev 1)"},
{ NV_CHIP_GEFORCE2ULTRA,"GeForce2 ultra"},
{ NV_CHIP_QUADRO2PRO, "Quadro 2 Pro"},
{ NV_CHIP_GEFORCE2MX, "GeForce2 MX"},
{ NV_CHIP_GEFORCE2MXDDR, "GeForce2 MX DDR"},
{ NV_CHIP_QUADRO2MXR, "Quadro 2 MXR"},
Also, Egbert rewrote the ddc code, added support for
Keith's render extension (unaccelerated). I think he
did some int10 work as well. Jarno switched the driver
over to fb from cfb. Something newer that 4.0.1 is
a necessity if you want GeForce2 to work.
