I haven't had any problems with my GeForce 2 using RedHat 7.2.  XConfig
loads up the drivers automatically in the install.  NVidia chipsets seem to
be supported well.  I was even able to run SCO UNIX OpenServer 5.0.6 with my
GF2 w/o any special configuring.

For what it's worth, I'm running a similar Nvidia card under Mandrake
8.1, without difficulty, although there are some documented problems
(different from yours) with the initial setup under Mandrake.
