Bummer.  :-(

I guess the GeForce4 card isn't currently supported.  You might want
to inquire on the linuxppc-dev or XFree86 mailing lists as to the status
of support for the GeForce4.  There's even a possibility that there might
already be some support in the XF CVS, but I'd inquire first before I
went down that route.
