I used a TNT2 card to implement a test driver framework for
KGI-0.9, because that was all I had access to at the time. I don't any
longer. I also did a little work on the KGIcon Riva driver back last year
when I worked at Creative, only to give up when it became obvious that
nVidia was not going to give me any HW docs even though I worked at
Creative. I hear that the kernel rivafb driver has improved a lot
recently though, perhaps we could find some good code for correct mode
synthesis there...?
