The NVidia drivers are something of a missed opportunity. They could make 
good ones, they do something wishy-washy. Their linux support is a joke.

The strange thing is: now I tried if other thing would work, so I dug up 
a demo version of Heay Gear, which has been working properly on my comp. 
Now it gives errors on startup. I did re-install the kernel and glx 
drivers since my kernel recompile, still... no effect.

Maybe it's worth putting in your faq that lokigames has a script that 
checks if your configuration is OK. I't in 
http://www.lokigames.com/~heimdall/nvidia/. (Imagine: lokigames doing the 
dirty work for nvidia.) 

THX all, for listening to my plonk talk, and my next graphics card won't 
be nvidia unless they opensource it.
