Ok, then you are using the nvidia provided driver which is not the xfree 'nv' driver so unfortunately that is no good to me since I am not using linux.
Also I'm affraid you're incorrect about xfree supporting the Go. http://www.xfree.org/4.2.0/nv.4.html excerpt from the 4.2.0 documentation GeForce2, QUADRO2 NV11 & NV15 (except GeForce2 Go, which is NOT supported) So my original question stands is there planned support for the Go or not? Where can I find out? I appreciate the reply but I require a NetBSD solution NOT Linux.

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.

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.

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.

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?
