Now, I happen to have a Riva TNT2 and am just trying to get hardware
accelerated Mesa to work. One mysterious thing is: the stuff from NVidia
claims it would only do 3D hardware acceleration when used in 15- or 16bit
mode, while the XSVGA server from our xsrc only seems to support 8bit (not
realy working) and 32bit color depth on this hardware.

Besides that, there is a description of how to setup things in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/1999/07/04/0008.html, but this seems
to talk about older versions of X.
