I don't think you'll have any issues not loading the nvidia driver. one thing that may be a positive though is that loading the driver may reduce the power draw on the GPU. on my laptop where i don't use my nvidia GPU loading the driver gives me significant power savings as it'll get set to a low power state. -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org
