Happiness and joy!
The GeForce4 420 Go in my laptop REALLY likes it.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7167.html
Here's the changelog from 6629 to 7167:
* Improved OpenGL workstation performance.
* Added support for XRandR rotation; see Appendix W in the text README.
* Added ExactModeTimingsDVI X config option to give explicit control
over the mode timings used on FlatPanels.
* Added Xorg dlloader support.
* Changed driver behavior such that PAT (Page Attribute Table)
is used where possible instead of MTRRs.
* Added a workaround for an X server bug with PCI-E GeForce 6800
and GeForce 6600; a fix has been provided to XFree86 and XOrg.
* Fixed stability problems on x86_64 PCI-E systems.
* Documented change_page_attr problems with x86_64 2.6 kernels;
please see the known issue "The X86-64 platform (AMD64/EM64T)
and 2.6 kernels" in the text README here:
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README
* Fixed 2D rendering corruption on certain older GPUs.
* Improved compatibility with Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Fixed compatibility problems with some SWIOTLB em64t systems.
* Fixed a bug that triggered error messages of the form:
"ioctl32(doom.x86:6747): Unknown cmd fd(16) cmd(c0384642){00}
arg(ffffc75c) on /dev/nvidiactl"
* Fixed NvAGP incompatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Improved interaction with the udev filesystem.
* Improved performance of PCI cards on Linux 2.6 systems.
* Support for TurboCache GPUs.
