Why not? The chip supports it (quite well) and it works with the binary NVidia driver. I've got a Riva TNT based videocard and quite happy with it; unfortunately it is simply impossible to get the binary driver to co-exist in a dualhead setup (Riva TNT AGP vs. Trio 3D/2X PCI). Either I have to use the 'vesa' driver for the Trio card (which eliminates all the extras and is sloooooow), or use 's3virge' and have it bomb on the GLX initialization. The combination 'nv'/'s3virge' works like a charm (ironically, the XV extension works on the S3 card...) If it's just a matter of trying a few things in the C code of the nv driver, I'd be happy to try. I'm quite fluent in C and willing to program and test. - Nemosoft _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
