Hi, I need some help to make a correct config for my NVidia GForce2 MX
200 video Card.
I have downloaded some modules from nvidia page, but I don't know how
make them work and I need the DirectDraw and the OpenGL.
i suggest you install the nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src packages and
compile the drivers yourself. you'll need a driver for the kernel (kernel
module) and one for the xserver, iirc. after installation read the readmes
in /usr/share/nvidia-kernel-src/ and /usr/share/nvidia-glx-src/ which will
guide you through the process of building and installing the drivers.
good luck, or whatever you'll need ;-)

I believe the installation instructions are in /usr/share/doc/
nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian (shows you how to build install the
kernel module), /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian(short instructions on
configuring X to use the nvidia driver with OpenGL (Linux doesn't use
DirectDraw - that's a Windows thing, but has equivalents such as DGA, which
will work when you have the driver working)) and /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/
README.gz (NVidia's extensive, but not Debian-specific docs with lots of
troubleshooting tips.)
