the Geforce board works fine with XFree but there is a small problem, the board is not correctly detected. to correct this probleme down XFree3.3.5 or XFree3.3.6, update the source code for nvidia from http://www.nvidia.com inside XFree the code for nvidia is localted in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/(I forgot something here)/nv just copy the files got from the nvidia web site (sorry but I can't remember the name of the archive). the go back to the xc directory follow the instruction from the INSTALL file something like: make World &> world.log copy you original server mv /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.orig then go in xc/programs/Xserver en copy XF86_SVGA in /usr/X11R6/bin restart xfree it should work if you want more information of the XF86_SVGA from XFree 3.3.6 or 3.3.5 send me an email to didier@aida.org After this operation my geforce board (leadtek windfast) worked fine for me.
