I have a geforce 2 card, and there are drivers and they do work. However, I also have a VIA chipset in my system, and there are known problems with this configuration. On my system right now, if I shutdown X the machine locks up hard. To reboot, I have to log in from another machine, and do a shutdown, which usually is able to stop everything before it locks up. The card works great as long as X is working, but be careful if you're getting a VIA chipset.
