The NVIDIA Legacy drivers magically fail to exist on the NVIDIA
site and there appears no be no port for them either.
I was exploring the latest nvidia driver and came across this page.

Isn't 7174 or 6113 the legacy driver you are after?

Well, yes they are the older drivers that would work, but the above
message gave me the impression that NVIDIA were going to be
maintaining
a seperate set of legacy drivers.
Not that it really matters now, the nv driver seems to be more solid
and allows me to run my monitor at the resolution I'm actually
supposed
to be able to run it at (the proprietary drivers had a long unfixed
bug
that limited my maximum resolution). I get no apparent performance
decrease on glxgears either (which is about the limit of my GL usage
nowadays!).
glxgears works for you with the nv driver? I cannot get it to work
for me (I have a RIVA TNT as opposed to your RIVA TNT 2). Could you
post your xorg.conf? I have the line Load "glx" in the "Module"
Section. Perhaps the nv driver works much better than for the TNT 2
as opposed to the TNT? Thank you for your help and thank you to the
whole list for the support and replies.
Cheers,
M
