Attached is my XF86Config. I've got a GeForce2 MS running well with this
config. I'm running Mandrake, not Debian, but I don't believe that matters.
I'm a newbie myself, so I make no guarantees about the quality of this
config... I just know that it works for me.
I installed the drivers following instructions found in an article at
www.evil3d.net. I believe the instructions were Mandrake-specific, but some
of the information might be transferrable.
Good luck,
- Jared
