[SLUG] Linux & NVidia

I still hate the binary-only nature of the NVidia drivers, but...

I've been using the 1251 build of the NVidia driver on two different AMD
K7 systems for amonth or so now with both a TNT2 Ultra and GeForce2
Ultra cards and it's been very solid when used with AGPGART to handle
the AGP I/O side of things. (It still wigs out if I let it use the
NVAGP stuff though.)

I'm actually getting really good framerates with the TNT2 card now when
playing UT, and the GeForce2, well... it's way faster than any sane
human being really needs.

Thanks to whoever it was on the list that pinged my brain into
remembering I could use AGPGART to manage AGP access for the driver. It
work much good now.

Now if the VM folks would just fix the dang lazy swap allocation bugs so
I don't suck down 500MB+ of VM whenever I play UT...
