Wasn't there something wrong with the nvidia settings?  Doesn't the Geforce2 
card use Nvidia drivers?  The config file loads dri and GLcore and it should 
not do that and the "nv" driver should be changed to "nvidia".  This assumes 
installation of nvidia drivers.

Here are the relavant parts of my config file:

Section "Module"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "speedo"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
        Load    "int10"
EndSection
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Device1"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Option         "nologo"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I added the "nologo" option to save time, since I won't have to see the nice 
Nvidia Logo every time I start the machine.
