help!
I've been searching for drivers for my NVIDIA TNT2 card, but the latest their website has is the kernel 1.0-2802 i386...

No 3d graphics/alpha/crap for me... err... on this computer..

anyways, I know that someone has made drivers.. but who?

the latest build of the nvidia reference drivers cover all nvidia based cards... including tnt2.
not sure if thats what you were asking tho..

yeah, but not the kernel..
its for the right card all right.

*sigh* I'll just turn to 'ol crashy when I need to set my eyes on some polygons. I don't do much gaming either so, well..

What kernel? Are you talking about Linux..?

uhhhhh...I've been through 4 graphics cards in the past and all I've ever needed to get them running was one file that were drivers of some sort...Install them and everything's ok...not understanding what you mean by "kernel"

Allthough you may not want to install the latest drivers from NVIDIA if you have an old card, I might be talking out of my ass here, but from what I understand the newest refefrence drivers include optimizations for the newest NVIDIA cards. So if you have an older card, it may make your games run little bit slower...that's what happened with my old geforce 2 anyway...

Using linux, thats odd, usually thats something I'd say..

But the problem is that NVIDIA hasn't made any drivers for the newer linux kernels and I'm wondering where I can find someone else who has (I know that people have made them, I want a free one)
