I have an nvidia geforce 5640. I use the binary nvidia driver, since its better (MUCH better for 3D, opengl etc.) than the OSS nv driver. I'm pretty impressed with this card+driver performance overall, so I don't think this is the issue. I believe I saw the same effect with the nv driver last time had to use it (when the NVIDIA driver was unavailable after the lauch of FC5) Chris
