Hello, all.
I just bought an Nvidia Verto TNT2-M64 with 32Mb based on the fact
that the xfree86 nv driver supports the TNT2-M64 with full graphics
acceleration. I did note that the driver man page says that it
supports the "RIVA TNT2" whereas my video card package says "Verto
TNT2" However, the output of lspci IDs the card as
00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation RIVA TNT2 Model
64 (rev 15)
And xfree also probes the card as a RIVA TNT2. My problem is that I
don't seem to be getting hardware acceleration. Games like chromium
and tuxracer are still unplayable, and it seems to make no speed
difference whether I specify 'Option "NoAccel"' vs. 'Option "Accel"'.
Anyone have any solutions? I would *really* like to avoid having to
upgrade/change my kernel version and use the Nvidia drivers.
Here are my specs:

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
