I have a GeForce 6800 GS working on my 32 bit install of MythTV running on
CentOS 5. I have the RPMed version of the nvidia drivers from atrpms.net. I
had the 64 bit version of CentOS installed, but went down to 32 bit before I
actually installed Myth on it due to some issues with my wireless network
card (the kernel provided drivers don't work with it so I have to use
ndiswrapper to use the Windows drivers... and there are no 64 bit windows
drivers for it). I did have the 64 bit nvidia drivers installed from
atrpms.net before I reformatted.
