Sorry for the delay in replying... my cooking & wine was so good that I
never did go back & test last night :-)
No issues with the Sony w/3Dfx. Also fired up the other nVidia machine
this morning & tested:
$ sudo lspci -v
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25GL [Quadro4
900 XGL] (rev a3)
Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device 0138
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 16
Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
Memory at dc780000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=512K]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at fe9e0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [44] AGP version 2.0
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidia-96, nvidiafb, rivafb, nouveau
Set fonts to 20, etc., etc. and used today's builds:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b3pre)
Gecko/20100727 SeaMonkey/2.1a3pre
and no issues on that one either. That one has full enhanced effects
(compiz, cube, etc., etc) turned on, same as the desktop w/intel mobile
chipset.
Can you provide the output of the video section of:
$ sudo lspci -v
