Does your kernel have various debugging features in place? If so...try turning them /off/. I kid you not. On the RC1 box here the nVidia drivers were very unstable doing 3D until the kernel was recompiled without debugging. (Chris, the owner of the machine, wanted to do it for 'performance' reasons -- getting the graphics working was an unexpected boon.) I can get you the kernel config, or make it available to the list if anyone's interested in this fleeting heisenbug. -Cliff L.
