It heats up, it crashes with Composite, with RenderAccel on older cards (such as my GF4/MX440). The forum is full with threads about breakage. The nvidia guy promised that this would get fixed in the next versions. Sigh ... > think I'll downgrade the driver and try again. Yes, that's what I did. 6629 is AFAIK the last one that worked (apart from Composite crashes). Unfortunately, it doesn't compile with Linux 2.6.12, so you have to downgrade the kernel, too. Isn't that exactly why we love proprietary drivers so much? :-/ m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
