[ale] geforce3

[Robert L. Harris]

I use a GFrorce3 on my desktop, dual boot.  Works great.  Big trick, get
the nvidia drivers from ftp.nvidia.com.  Download the GLX and kernel modules,
install em,  then configure your XFree86 per norm.  After you install, edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and change the instance of "nf" to "nvidia"  works
absolutely great and looks amazing.
