I have a GeForce2 MX, but I still don't get 3D running. At first, kdm
crashes unless there is also an libGL.so.1 pointing to the _old_ libGL.so.
Then, when starting X, the screen is black for ~8 secs with some blue
flickers, before it switches to the right display mode (you can see an "old"
image there for a short time). That's strange, but doesn't really hurt.
But when I play anything with eg realplayer, it isn't accelerated - the CPU
usage goes up endlessly, and it's still slow (I'M just playing the
realplayer credit intro, so nothing too complicated).
I don't get any error messages in XF*log (except the one you noted, but DRI
is a driver architecture not supporting nvidia, so I guess it will stay
unused if you load it). Yes I do have the NVdriver compiled, although I got
some warnings (I don't remember too precisely right now).

Okay, are there any .debs for Quake3, or where do I get it?
Btw, does anybody know .debs for kdevelop 1.2?
Yours, Rüdiger.
