Real 3D acceleration is only with nvidias closed source drivers. You need drivers and a kernel module. There are debs you can install which will pull the drivers from nvidias ftp site and install them. For the kernel module you need wget, kernel-source-2.4.x and the kernel-package. Then cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.x; make-kpkg modules_install For the nvidia packages do apt-cache search nvidia Make sure to read the nvidia readme that gets installed in /usr/share/doc/nvidia* for Options to set in XF86Config-4 for stuff like AGP -- I did not vote for the Austrian government
