Forced to use the "generic" Xorg "nv" driver under amd64, but it really does work quite nicely, even in GL screensavers and such. Like you, I'm primarily interested in video, not 3D gaming and whatnot, so it's more than adequate for my needs. Still wish we had an official nVidia driver for amd64, though (like Linux). Hope this helps. Conrad -- Conrad J. Sabatier <conrads@cox.net>
