I'm using panels at both edges. Pager and Taskmanager at the top edge, K menu, system tray etc. at the bottom. > > I'm using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run - I'm guessing > you're on that version too? Ah, yes, I'm using an older version (180.44-2) of the nvidia driver and kernel 2.6.29. When I last tried, a few months ago, more recent combinations of driver and kernel resulted in "drop outs", very short flickering to a black screen. I'll have to try the current kernel with current driver.
