Hmm, first post on slashdot, but just thought I should comment on your problems with the nvidia driver.These problems are mostly stemming from the fact that the later nvidia driver packages have cut away support for the TNT card series. I know this because I went through the same thing on this desktop I am currently using, a 333mhz PII system, which I had placed a TNT2 riva into. The solution for it is to install the nvidia 1.7174 drivers, at least, that worked for me. Though I don't use ubuntu on this system, but gentoo, my distro of choice, though I also have ubuntu as second favorite. Hope that helps.
