RE: RH8 driver nv and new monitor

Heya,
	I've got a GeForce 2 MX, and the default for Nvidia based chipsets, I
think, is the "nv" driver.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  As default,
it works fairly well, save for the "no acceleration" which requires the
GLX and kernel downloads from Nvidia.  Although somewhat a pain to get
working on RH8, they do work (at least for the -14 release.  I wasn't
successful in getting one compiled for the -18 release, though I'm sure
I screwed something up to prevent that.
