The nv driver does work with the GeForce Go series (I have a Dell laptop, that piece of crap). Anders is right, though - that driver (the Free one) will give you terrible 3d performance. To get real 3d performance you need the closed-source binary driver from Nvidia. The easiest way to add it to sarge or sid is to add deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable/i386/ deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia modules-unstable/i386/ to /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6.9-1-686 nvidia-glx or whatever version of the Linux kernel you're using. Hope this helps. -- Adam Lowry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
