Yes. I have the chaintek 7nif2 and everything works fine.

so you're saying the driver builds fine, but when you try to start X it
locks up?

Make sure you have the dri and glcore(I think that's it) removed from
the X config file, also make sure you change the driver from nv or vesa
to nvidia. What gart are you trying to use? Are you trying to use the
Agpgart or NVagp ? I've had better luck with the NVagp, but they both
worked.

I guess the other thing to do would be to look in the /var/log/messages
and look at what happened at the time of lockup so you can maybe figure
out exactly what part is not working.

One last thing. I haven't had any problems with it, but some people on
the list have said that they had to diable APIC in the bios.
