In regards to your nvidia problem , check out dev
Mepis digest Vol 14 issue 26 and 30 if it seems the
same the workaround is there too. You probably wont
like it but its the only way i found to get 3D working
with my card .
there is a known problem with the 6629 nvidia
driver with some cards . My previous posts go into
detail about it .

When I tried to install Simply Mepis 3.3 and set up
to use the official nvidia driver it didn't work,
the gui looked bugged or was completely missing,
totally unusable. Tried to run with both kernels,
didn't work. Tried to install SimplyMepis 3.3 with
standard nv driver and afterwards install nvidia-glx,
but didn't work either. Didn't work on MepisPro2005
beta 4 either, and neither with SimplyMepis 2004-10
final either, which I had been using earlier and
worked
fine. Didn't work when I tried with Ubuntu either.
Must be a bug in the newest versions of nvidia-glx
or something. That is a pain in the ass to not be
able to use accelerated openGl as I use 3D graphics
packages!
I hope there is a way to fix this. A separate apt
source
to an older version of nvidia-glx perhaps, I have no
idea..
