I bought a generic nvidia TNT M64 AGP card for a box I want to run old 
Caldera eDesk 2.4 along with Libranet.
(eDesk can't handle my ATI Radion 7000 card.)
When I installed Libranet 2.8 Debian, it recognized the card and 
installed the nVidia accelerated driver.
(Libranet 2.8.x includes an already compiled driver.)
It works great; Tux Racer runs lickety split.  Oh yes, eDesk 2.4 had no 
problem setting it up too.
