It's not the only list full of nvidia trouble. Recently I advised a friend that a cheap graphics card should be fine with Linux - I think it had an FX5200 chip (or FX4000). PITA is putting it mildly. Some wasted hours later... So I'd say if you can get some nvidia graphics going in 30 minutes, be happy. And that's still 25 minutes wasted. :) > In the end the video card drivers were the least of my problems > with the 2.6 kernel series! My trouble with 2.6 was exactly zero, ie no detectable difference to 2.4.
