Hi,

Do you connect the card to the monitor with an analog port?
If so, X works with the offb driver of the kernel (<2.4.18)
and the nv driver of the XFree86-4.2.0 at 1024x768x24.
The following is the Device Section of XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NV11 (GeForce2 MX)"
        #Option "SWcursor"
        #Option "HWcursor"
        #Option "PciRetry"
        #Option "NoAccel"
        #Option "ShadowFB"      "true"
        #Option "UseFBDev"
        Driver  "nv"
        BusID   "PCI:0:16:0"
EndSection

Cheers,
