Could be, but the proprietary nvidia driver works quite well. I get smooth scrolling and no graphics breakup. The raw speed of the display is significantly better. Now all I have to do is get my seamonkey 1.x data migrated to the new 2.10.1 and I can go to the new system permanently. Of course I'll need to explore a wm other than twm in the new system. :) -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
