Which driver/config for old Nvidia Geforce 2 MX video adapter

Hello!

Today I'm trying to get a perfect xorg configuration for my new x86_64 System, but I'm not sure, which driver is the right one.

In the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … DIA_driver) there are serveral drivers. (I have a custom kernel)
I'm searching on the nvidia-homepage for an list of supported video adapters, but in this document my geforce 2 mx isn't listed.

Ok, I know this card is VERY old, but I don't play any games

Has anybody some hints for me, which driver is the right one and maybe some details about the right configuration in xorg.conf?

Thanks for help!

Greetings,

Flasher

P.S.: I want to use the 3D acceleration for desktop matters, so I think the nv driver isn't the solution???
