Somehow, I doubt those drivers will work for me... look at nVidia's supported card's list (I don't see Geforce 2, 3, or 4 of ANYTHING): http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-285.05.09-driver.html Assuming the .sfs file is based on nvidia's drivers (hence the similar filename numbering), looks like it won't work, to me. Am I mistaken? |

Yes and the web page doesn't list up the GeForce2 Ultra. I had a mistake. The GeForce2 Ultra is supported by 71.86.xx driver. Well, you may need to compile the driver from the source.

I think the older driver(s) work in Wary Puppy. Can you direct me to the exact driver I need for Wary? I'm going to download Wary now and see how it fares on my system. |

Even before the built-in video driver update program is run, the "Start" menu opens immediately and all the submenus pop open quickly. After the video driver update (no nVidia drivers, though), the desktop wallpaper seems to display faster as well. Overall, everything seems more responsive. However, I only get about 20fps in glxgears, so I'm definitely not getting full performance out of my card. But at least the OS seems decently usable, even at this point. I tried installing/using the older nvidia drivers (71.86.xx) via Puppy, but when I go to use it, it defaults to VESA and then locks up or something, I think. Upon reboot, I get nothing but a black screen forever. So... something doesn't work right. Just finished reinstalling Wary (5.2.2) and will give it another go... except I'm not updating anything til someone tells me EXACTLY what I need to do... and how. |

need to compile the proper driver against the kernel.
