According to the "Driver Status for XFree86 4.0" page, accelerated supported is provided for my card (TNT2 M64) via the "NV" driver.

Ok, so you're saying I should check out the Linux drivers available via the NVidia site? Sorry, I'm probably being obtuse. I did indeed look their but the download site was down; I'll give it another go. Thanks much for your time. Cheers, -- ------------------------------------------ David E.
