That's what I'm pounding on right now. Lonnie said that with my nvidia
card I don't need anything mesa or libGL rpm installed, to just use what
is already in firmware (huge speedup!). Maybe you have that problem as
well? I'm about to erase them all and I'll let you know if it "blows or
goes... C-Modified on the outside, Double A Fueled on the Inside! Sunday
Sunday! BE there or BE square!" Varoom! <grins> I'm afraid I'm gonna
toss a rod. Ric
