Same here. They seem to work fine een with the NVidia extra bits and bobs.
They're updated pretty frequently at the mo so be prepared for some big
downloading.
One caveat though. I haven't nailed it down but the latest Helix packages
break. Since the helix bits and XFree bits updates at the same time I'm not
sure which but my suspicions lie with Helix since other ppl are reporting
similar problems. I can't the helix desktop at
the mo because the desktop GPF's all the time (even alternate desktops) so
I'm using E instead which rocks highly. I think I might stick wih it once I
get the hang of it.
Cheers,
Graeme
