I can not tell you, since  did not try it. Lst time I checked Xfree4, it
worked with my card (Creative TNT), but there were problems with pointer
devices. 

What I can tell, is that nVidia's drivers are not going to change in the
near future, but Xfree4 will get bugfixed like crazy. Therefore:

o Even if you wont be able to use Xfree4 right now, chances are you will
  be using it in near future.

o You will use the same driver you can download now

o You need to check Xfree4 for readyness, and not drivers. Reason - there
  is nothing you can do about drivers, nVidia released them closed-source.


In short - try and tell me if it worked:) (for obvious reasons (Riva TNT)
I am interested in topic too.)
