GeForce3 -- revisited

[<uid0@catastrophe.net>]

Greetings,

I've been trying to get my nvidia geforce3 to work here for quite some
time now. I was able to upgrade to the latest release of XFree86, but ti
seems like there may be some package problems (?)

here's what I have on this machine...

unruly:~# dpkg -l | egrep ^'ii  xser'
ii  xserver-common 4.1.0-5        files and utilities common to all X servers
ii  xserver-common 3.3.6-38       files and utilities common to XFree86 3.x X
ii  xserver-svga   3.3.6-38       X server for SVGA graphics cards
ii  xserver-vga16  3.3.6-11potato X server for VGA graphics cards

unruly:~# dpkg -l | egrep ^'ii  xfree'
ii  xfree86-common 4.1.0-5        X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure


So far I've not been able to get the nvidia card to work in anything but
320x204 mode (ugh) and it's getting discouraging.

Can anyone help? i haven't installed the drivers from nvidia yet, I was
hoping to only do that after I know it works in the standard 8bit mode
or whatever.

Thanks.
