Hi Derek, Thanks for testing. I agree that kernel might be a part of the issue. I'll try later stock kernel, as I can't remember what happened before. I guess I was using opensource nv driver and after kernel update installed nvidia accelerated to try out Compiz Fusion. I have to do more testing: - try 32 bit on this box - try 32 bit on another box etc. - maybe complete new installation -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
