I've got the same hardware as the original poster. 1.4 Tbird (oc'd to
1.55), 512MB RAM, NVidia GeForce2 DDR. Never had a problem as was
described, I normally don't use the closed source nvidia crap. Tho I
have tested them (3123) as recently as a few days ago. Even compiled a
'sacrifice' kernel so that my regular one (2.4.19-16k7, LM 9.0)
couldn't be tainted. The only problem I did have was gettin nvidia's
B$ uninstalled (drivers were compiled from their src.rpms).
The XFree 'nv' driver does support 3d accel as of XF 4.2.1. It
appears this is due to some help from VA Linux and SGI. Back to the
untainted kernel and the 'nv' driver,
