I bought a generic nvidia TNT M64 AGP card for a box I want to run old Caldera eDesk 2.4 along with Libranet.NVidia makes a point of backwards compatibility on their cards (e.g. new cards will work with old drivers, but some new features may not be supported). I've never had a problem on Linux with any card with an NVidia chipset so long as it has enough RAM to support the necessary resolutions and color depth.
(eDesk can't handle my ATI Radion 7000 card.)
When I installed Libranet 2.8 Debian, it recognized the card and installed the nVidia accelerated driver.
(Libranet 2.8.x includes an already compiled driver.)
It works great; Tux Racer runs lickety split. Oh yes, eDesk 2.4 had no problem setting it up too.
