Around FC2 the driver just behaved badly when the xorg xserver change came along. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Sometimes it would take 1-2 minutes to initialize. This may have all been fixed by now, but I've switched to using a low end Nvidia Quattro card. Just like the G550 it is fanless, but the DVI works great with the nv driver, openGL is good also with the nvidia driver. -- Jed
