Thanks. I'll look into the nouveau driver. I have the nVidea driver
installed already:
NVIDIA Driver Version: 96.43.14
I did that at the recommendation of the OS. At some point it recommended
installing the nVidia driver, and I accepted the invitation.
I didn't mention it this time, but I did turn off the eye candy stuff:
System:Preferences:Appearance:Visual Effects -- set to "None" which
also helped the performance of
Foobilliard.
