[lug] NVIDIA GeForce2 Go Driver & KRUD (Was Dell Utility Partition)

[Gregg Phillips]

Wayde,

You should go to the NVIDIA site (www.nvidia.com) and under the Download 
Drivers button at the top, go to the Linux Drivers link on the next page 
and download the kernel module for your kernel and GLX drivers. I have 
seen much better support and speed using NVIDIA's drivers. I checked the 
supported products and your card is listed. Be sure to follow the 
instructions on modifying your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

Good Luck,

Gregg.
