Re: [newbie] Asus AGP V6600 Geforce and Mandrake
I run Mandrake 7.1 and I use an Asus V6800 DDR. Had to run the X config many times as it wanted to call the card a V3800. However, it does take it as an NVidia DDR with some prodding :-) Still haven't run any 3-D games (ala Quake) so I can't comment on that performance but the renderer and 2-D looks great.

Re: [newbie] Asus AGP V6600 Geforce and Mandrake
I've read here: http://www.xfree86.org that X 4 and 4.01 support native hardware acceleration for Geforce 256 cards. You may also be able to find and install Nvidia drivers for linux. Don't know where to look for those. I've got 3dfx cards.

Quaylar, I can and do. You have to use the SVGA XFree server.
