 It sounds like you had already changed it though?

Ya, I was playing Tux games not 10 days ago.
 
 Do you know how to get Open Universe to work in normal time?  It always
 warps on me and I can't get it to go real time.

Press 'e'.

I have another oddity, though. Tux has always run full-screen
in the past. Now it's running at 640x480 (or 800x600?) but the
monitor resolution doesn't change from 1280x1024.

Wait a minute--I just remembered I was messing with monitor 
settings last week. I bet I accidentally changed the video
card while I was doing that. And my monitor resolution is 
better (the frequency that is), but I had to do a custom
setting to accomplish it. I bet the custom setting is
preventing TuxRacer from going full-screen. That sux. I'll
have to play with more flexible monitor settings, I guess.

 Very odd--my X config file went back to the nv driver!
 I switched it back to nvidia and all is well again. Very
 odd, indeed. Well, I'm staring at Saturn again, so I'm a
 happy camper.

  a GL library or something that requires a link to the location that Open

  Can anybody run openuniverse _after_ you install
  the nVidia drivers? I can't and I miss it to death.
