The following is from the 1.0-7667/README.txt: |

========================= |
| 19 |
Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver. |
| 20 |
These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA |

GPU driver releases. |

NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID |

------------------------------- ------------------------------- |

RIVA TNT 0x0020 |
| 26 |
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028 |
| 27 |
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029 |
| 28 |
=========================== |
| 29 |
|

The same list is in the 7664 Readme.txt. The 7174 lists TNT2 as supported. |
