We can't support NVIDIA's binary drivers but we can support the "nv" driver. The "nv" driver in 4.3.0 should work fine with DVI on GeForce3 Ti500. The CrtcNumber option isn't used on the GeForce3 as that option is only for dual-head cards. I'll need to see the /var/log/XFree86.0.log when running the "nv" driver to diagnose why it's not working.
