I've never had the nv driver be able to happily (or at all, really) drive my LCD screen, so I've been using the VESA driver. Works pretty OK. So it's not accelerated, but chips and busses are fast these days, and the nv driver isn't doing 3D accel anyway. I saw the nv driver update come up, and was going to give it another go, but maybe I'll wait for a bit... FWIW my system is an Athlon X2 box with NVIDIA motherboard chipset and a cheapo 6600LE graphics card. Anyway, my point is that you should be able to use the VESA driver as a fall-back until the nv driver starts to work (again?) Cheers, Andrew
