Re: geforce4 420 graphics card problem
The X folks have put in support for the Geforce4, but the X server in
Debian testing (or unstable, last time I checked) doesn't yet have
those changes.
So for now either compile X yourself, or use the proprietary driver
from NVidia (directions for installation are available at their
website). The latter requires installing a binary kernel module,
which will taint your kernel (making getting help when it crashes more
difficult).
The free driver will come out in time, but it doesn't do as good a job
at 3d accelleration as the proprietary one. (I presume it does some,
but I don't know.)
