GeForce2 GTS & X 4.0.1c



Recently I installed Branden's debs for X 4.0.1c (deb
http://samosa.debian.org/~branden/ woody/$(ARCH)/) because, frankly,
vga16 @ 640 x 480 sucks with a GeForce2 GTS card.

So, now, woohoo, the desktop looks great and I don't spend much time
in the console.

But my question is - I thought that I had to grab the Linux drivers
from the NVIDIA site to make things work; it seems I don't.

/var/log/gdm says the NV driver supports the GeForce2 GTS.

So, is it that for 3d I need the NVIDIA drivers?

And what are some good apps for checking frame rates and also showing
off the power of the card?
