Thanks, Peter.

The only reason I bring it up is because my screen experiences
inexplicable flickering snow when I set it to 1024x768 and "millions
of colors", which I know can be handled by the nvidia binary driver
under FC1.

| I don't think so. nvidia cards are supported by the free (xorg) nv

| x86_64.

| problem, i386 only), not due to a xorg problem. For details you
