I used
the 1.0-2314 src.rpm for the kernel and the 2313 for the glx.
.
Remove
the old kernel and glx with rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel and rpm -e
NVIDIA_GLX
Do a
rpm --rebuild, then and rpm -ivh on the kernel first, then the same on the glx.
You will have to note where it puts the .i386.rpm during the rebuild for the rpm
-ivh.
This
worked on my machine and I am running 1600X1200 and 1440 fps using gears. Before
using the normal glx, it was running 295 fps and I had crashes all of the
time.
The
release notes I read on 4.2 says it now supports Geforce2.

Sorry to have to clutter the list and follow this
up. But can you clarify which driver you are using specifically?
Did you download it from nvidia (which provides linux drivers). Or are
you using the nv driver from the xfree distribution?
The reason I ask is because I did some further
reading at the xfree.org website and it specifically says that the geforce Go
is NOT supported therefore I suspect your using the nvidia developed driver
for linux which is of no use to me since I don't use linux.
Furthermore that only leaves me with one
remaining question; will there be support in the future for the nvidia GeForce
Go driver for the Dell mobile?
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, XFree86 4.2 support the Nvidia GeForce 2 Go. I
have a Dell Inspiron 8100 with GeForce2 Go and after several months, it is
finally working. Am using Suse 7.3 with 2.4.17 kernel.

Does xfree 4.2.0 support the Nvidia GeForce 2
Go Mobile distributed in Dell Inspiron notebooks? I've tried using
the 'nv' driver without success. Is there/are there plans to support
it in the future?
I know that nvidia distributes a linux driver
for it however I am using NetBSD (1.5). Perhaps there's a way to
hack the linux one nvidia distributes to work with NetBSD or am I
sol?
Thanks
