It is, but the Version on XFree (4.1) in Debian 3.0 (Woody) only
supports nvidia cards up to GeForce 2, at least if you want to use the
nv driver. You can use the vesa driver instead, or get the nvidia
driver from the nvidia web page. Search the archive and look at the
README to find information on how to install it. You can also upgrade
to a newer version of XFree. Take a look at <http://www.apt-get.org>.
