Just xscreensaver rotating random pictures out of a directory. Nothing 3d on this box.
Interestingly I believe I can see a speed difference using www.gmap-pedometer.com between the nv and nvidia drivers with my (now ancient) GeForce3. The nv drivers seem to be inredibly slow, so there may not be any 3D going on, but it seems the hardware and drivers can still matter for modern 2D apps. -- imalone
