Look at the archives for the drivers. I dont think they have
been included in the official release. Nicholas Waples posted them
at http://members.optusnet.com.au/~nwaples/ 
I also aplied a patch for cursor management by jmk.

I think I also posted the complete algorithm somewhere. For my card,
Diamond Viper 550 PCI it works fine, with some minor problems when
changing the resolution. There have been other cards with other
 TNT chips which have been reported to work too.
