I had the GeForce3 (VisionTek) working w/no problem w/out having to work 
in the Linux compatability layer.  All I needed was recent XFree86 and a 
working XF86Config.  I am hoping to find the equivalent for the GeForce4 
(PNY 4600).  I will probably grab latest X bits from cvs, compile, 
install, and try "XFree86 -configure" for starters unless someone else has 
a more specific suggestion (or has this card working on *BSD already).
