Its all included in the latest update now, except you still need to add
to /sys/src/9/pc/pc[disk|flop]
vganvidia +cur
if you want it included in the kernel.
It works fine for my TNT, and a quick test on a Geforce2 MX it appeared to
work. Hopefully it should work on cards from TNT -> Geforce2.
Note the driver doesnt do hw acceleration, so if you want a usable > 8bpp
display then an S3 (Virge or Savage 4) or Mach64 based card would be
better.
Nick.
