Then you've misconfigured the card... or you've been rooked.
check lspci [or /proc/pci] and make sure it really is a nVidia TNT,
rather than an STB/nVidia Riva128.
Then make sure you're running a recent X server, or use Xfree86 4 and
the nVidia drivers - make sure you have no RAM overides set, etc.
I've owned a Riva128 4MB PCI, TNT2M64 32MB PCI and a GeForce2MX 32MB
AGP, and have had all of them running under Linux with minimal (if
any) problems, and those problems have often been traced to other
hardware, or have been resolved by using newer X servers/software.
Don't blame the chipset manufacturer for your own incompetance.
nVidia make some of the best chipsets out there, with only ATI coming
close to rivalry.
