that all makes perfect sense, except,... why did everything ELSE still work? (I admit to not having tried any of the GL screensaver demos, or any high-end GL games...)
Only applications using OpenGL would be affected.
If you want to test for yourself, try running 'glxgears'.
GoogleEarth is another good test case, as it stresses the driver pretty hard.
yup, it sure does. However I didn't think of it being only a GL problem until afterr I had already reinstalled Nvidia stuff. but I imagine it's pretty likely that any of those proggies would have tripped over the same problem.
