    It is, but the Version on XFree (4.1) in Debian 3.0 (Woody) only
    supports nvidia cards up to GeForce 2, at least if you want to use the
    nv driver. You can use the vesa driver instead, or get the nvidia
    driver from the nvidia web page. Search the archive and look at the
    README to find information on how to install it. You can also upgrade
    to a newer version of XFree. Take a look at <http://www.apt-get.org>.

    best regards
