I'm not quite sure, but I think GForce2 GO is not supported in the XFree version currently packaged in Woody. You should use sarge's or sid's xfree 4.2 I also have a NVidia GForce Go and I'm running debian Sid with NVidia's propietary drivers and they are easy to install, given you know how to build a kernel. You can find nvidia's drivers at: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux In my case I would like to adopt the free nv drivers and can't get to reinstall them again. Has anybody done this sucessfully?... Google doesn't seen to help here... As far as I know, these free drivers only lack 3D acceleration (useful for games, fundamentally), but they have the great virtue of being free. Here you have a link showing a kernel recompile the Debian way: http://myrddin.org/howto/debian-kernel-recompile.html Good luck, -- Rafael Villar Burke
