The following is from the 1.0-7667/README.txt:
=========================
Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver.
These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA
GPU driver releases.
NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID
------------------------------- -------------------------------
RIVA TNT 0x0020
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029
===========================
The same list is in the 7664 Readme.txt. The 7174 lists TNT2 as supported.
<shrug> So it goes.
