That's bloody expensive. 64MB GeForce2/MX200's with TVout are $99. > Does anyone know, please, what my card is? Yeah, it's an Nvidia GeForce 256 card. Brands don't mean anything - the chipset defines what drivers you need, not the retailer. > What kernel version(s) are drivers available for, please? They work with standard VESA drivers, the nv driver with XFree 4, and the closed-source drivers for XFree 4 provided by NVidia from their website (which are less shite than they used to be). If you want hardware 3D you'll need the closed-source beasties. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
