Derek, I reverted to the 6111 driver, applied your patch, followed your instructions, and it worked like a charm this time. I can finally play tuxkart and tuxracer (Woohoo!) I noticed that your nvidia page is still retired (fortunately, I had printed it out previously). Seems like it's still needed, so perhaps you can pull it out of retirement. Also, it seems clear the 6629 driver is broken. You might want to make a note of that on your page. Thanks for the help, -- Ron ron dot hunterduvar at shaw dot ca Opinions expressed here are all mine. "As you know, necessity is the mother of invention. I don't know who the father is.
