Recently I installed Branden's debs for X 4.0.1c (deb http://samosa.debian.org/~branden/ woody/$(ARCH)/) because, frankly, vga16 @ 640 x 480 sucks with a GeForce2 GTS card.
So, now, woohoo, the desktop looks great and I don't spend much time in the console. But my question is - I thought that I had to grab the Linux drivers from the NVIDIA site to make things work; it seems I don't. /var/log/gdm says the NV driver supports the GeForce2 GTS. So, is it that for 3d I need the NVIDIA drivers? And what are some good apps for checking frame rates and also showing off the power of the card? Jonathan
