Ahh! You caught me with my pants down! Why not try to add the pci ids
to the nvidia drivers yourself? IIRC, the 6600 is the 6800 with less
pipelines, so the same driver should work? Nvidia has been talking of
the unified driver architecture for years. I thought you were looking
for 3d support, are you? If so you won't like the nv driver.
"nv is an Xorg driver for NVIDIA video cards. The driver supports 2D
acceleration...."
