We have a Diamond Viper V770-Ultra (TNT2 Chipset) running succesfully here.
Get the SVGA Xserver from the Nvidia website:
http://www.nvidia.com
Then follow the following links: drivers, Linux, pick an FTP site, or read
the FAQ.
I got the following file from their ftp site:
RIVA-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386.tar.gz
That tarball contains a replacement for the SVGA server. It works in Slink.
It has glx support in it, and also support for VMware.
This setup works very well, we have run Quake II (with glx acceleration),
and Quake III arena-test.
Your other option is to update to one of the latest X-Free versions. Nvidia
helped with the drivers, and I think that the TNT2 is supported as of Xfree
3.3.4 .
Good Luck,
