Alan,
Get the drivers from nvidia.com. Install them and run Xconfigurator again.
On my computer it didn't show separate entry for TNT2, but I selected Viper
V550 (regular TNT) and everything was fine.

Subject: [newbie] new computer means new linux questions
I'm installing mandrake 6.0 on a new PC, and the first problem I've run
into is with X. Xconfigurator identifies my video card (Diamond v770), but
is then unable to probe it, and when I try to manually configure it I get
a prompt for my clockchip -- and I have no idea what my clockchip is. I
assume that means the clock on the video card, but I'm not positive. Does
anyone know what the chip is?
If I don't enter a clockchip, all I can select is low-resolution x 8-bit
color, which sure seems like a waste of good computing power. Otherwise,
Xconfigurator errors out starting the x server.
Thanks, all-
-alan
