So many thanks to pawel for his effort helping me with my RIVA TNT2
and the X-Server, which doesn't started. Unfortunately all attempts
were in vain. After a sleepless night I tried out to create the nodes
for the nvidia chip manually, I read this tip at
http://www.athemis.de/content/linux/...e.html#nvidia2.
Making this changes the X-Server starts and the nvidia-module could be
found :-). So, to everybody who has a problem with nvidia and uses
udev make sure your nodes are created. After creating the nodes
manually udev remvoves und creates them by itself.

Greetings from a happy TNT2-user
