'Lo,
I've been reading up on this for a few days now, but I don't seem to be getting very far. I'm running the 3.4.3 Release on a box with the Riva TNT2 32 (I think, I'm pretty sure), and 3D is not happy at all. I thought I could use the nvidia driver, but looks like this is not the case (looking at the appendix for the driver). Is there a driver that is supported?
I'm rather new to all of this, so not terribly Linux literate. 
Cheers,

From what I've read, the last nvidia linux driver version to support TNT2 cards is 1.0.7174, which is the version included in 3.4-3. Later versions don't support TNT2. Have you tried out the 7174 driver (OScenter)? Make sure you have 7174 versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-1-586tsc installed (you can check in Synaptic).Nvidia Linux forums might be of help:
