The GeForce2 and GeForce2 Go are supported by the "nv" driver in the testing and sid versions of XFree86. It doesn't support hardware acceleration, though. The nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages are in the "contrib" part of the archive. That means they depend on non-free software. In /etc/apt/sources.list ensure "contrib" is one of the sections listed: deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib Then do "apt-get update" and you should be able to install the nvidia packages.
