NVIDIA has a bug that makes nautilus go really slow. If you turn off nautilus, then gnome is fast again. I just discovered that the native XFree86 nv driver supports xvideo, so I just ditched the nividia drivers all together. I don't care that much about 3d acceleration at the moment, only movie playback. Now NVIDIA blames nautilus for the slow down, but since it wasn't slow in the previous version of their driver, it isn't nautilus. They changed something. Hopefully they will work it out. Anyway, RedHat 9 isn't compatible with NVIDIA's drivers yet, (which I am still trying to download -- so much for priority access). -- Michael L Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
