Re: NVIDIA GeForce4 440 GoTM video controller with 64MB

Matthew,

	Instructions for getting the GeForce 2 and 4 cards to work is
located at the following address.

http://www.marcuscom.com/g2g-xfree86/article.html

	Instead of using the nv.tar.gz I usually cvsup the src and then
copy the files over.  I use the following cvsup file, you'll probably want
to change the prefix to be someting other than /usr/local/src if you
prefer to keep it in your home dir or someplace else.

*default host=anoncvs.xfree86.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr/local/src
*default release=cvs
*default tag=.
*default delete use_rel_suffix

xc-all

Regards,
Kevin
