uh - which version of the driver?

would have to do some test builds, but if i remember correctly it is the same 
that you get with driver 1.0-6111 and kernel 2.6.9 unless you use the 
patch...
... but then nividia released 1.0-6629 which works fine with 2.6.9

However, i just noticed that one did roll back the driver in test because of 
issues with TNT cards...

Actually i remember the nvidia driver being way less stable on my old TNT1 
and 
TNT2 cards than on my GForce2MX, but that is quite some time ago. Can anyone 
tell me how well the drivers did work on TNT cards in the last year?

The point is: i doubt that there will be a new driver soon, and i doubt that 
a 
new driver will work perfectly with that old cards. What shall we do?
