Have you tried these?

I've had a great experience with these. Don't let the quadro part fool you,
They work fine for my gf4mx. As well, they include a good tweaker panel just
like you have in windows, nvidia-settings.

Morning Ope,

I've a GeForce4 MX440 the nvtv freeware was the first thing I tried as I was
hoping for a seperate framebuffer/display for the tv-out (TwinView adds the
tv onto the current X11 screen). I couldn't get it to work as nvtv doen't
support my chipset.  The FAQ tells me that some MX440 have another chip
which is supported but that's not much help to me.

So in otherwords your milage may vary..

On the flip side I found the nVidia driver easy to install and use..although
I've had no joy with the latest driver (rev 5328) but the one before that
the 4496 works brillantly..

Regards
Simon
