The only way nv will do any sort of 3D is to use mesa supplied libGL. Doah... using software, when you have perfectly good hardware, seems like a step backwards. By nv I'm talking about the teeny tiny itsy bitsy nVidia driver that comes stock with Fedora. I use it for about 3 minutes when I fresh install, and have my nVidia tarfile on the backup to restore from the get go. I jus go to init 3, fire it up, and then crank X back up. The speed gains are nothing to sneeze at. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
