stock X nv driver for nvidia

2002-12-23 Thread Calum Mackay
Has anyone tried the stock X driver for Nvidia'a cards, the nv driver, as opposed to using the debs of the official driver? I want to use a current cvs version of X, and am having trouble with both the deb official drivers, and also the cvs "nv" driver. cheers, Calum.
