Sofar I have no TNT-based card either. I will try to investigate the
capabilities. In between I found another card which might be useful if
supported under LINUX: ELSA ERAZOR III with ELSA 3D REVELATOR 3D-shutter
glasses. A call to the manufacturer however did not reveal much information.
It also uses the Nvidea RIVA TNT2 chip set.
