I am using a GeForce4 MX. I just set up the Nvidia Open GL drivers.
They seem to work well. However, the only thing that I know to check
them with is TuxRacer. I noticed in the README.txt provided by NVidia
that it is necessary to set up OPENGL environment variables for such
things as Full Screen AntiAliasing. I can not get it to work.
I am running Debian with the bash shell. I do the following to set up
the environment varible and then startx
/home/jmkramer$ export _GL_FSAA_MODE=1
/home/jmkramer$ startx
When I run Tux racer there is no antialiasing.
A second question is which is the best antialiasing mode
1 2x Bilinear Mulitisampling
2 2x Quicunx Multisampling
4 2 x 2 Supersampling
Thanks for the help.
BTW the new Nvidia install is really good. I would skip trying to
install it the "Debian Way". Go to the Nvida site and download their
shell script and run. It has a facility to provide automatic updates
