I can help with that easily enough, since I'm planning on doing a complete rebuild of the 64 bit system, which has the nvidia chipset card on it. > Note that Alan Cox thinks that defaulting to the proprietary drivers (as > opposed to simply including them on the CD in their original form and > letting the user build and install them) violates GPL. This can be argued both ways, it isn't a GPL package itself, but it doesn't violate the GPL < V3. [ the anti drm stance of V3 it may be a violation of, that went a bit to far. Since the nvidia driver is a kernel module and the kernel is GPL V2 with no plan on switching to V3 there sholdn't be any conflict. ] >> The artifact is the mouse cursor in the lower right quadrant of the >> display.

Will do that, I thought it would have been reported already.
