I had a similar problem under 4.0.something with a GeForce 2 MX 400, but it went away after upgrading to 4.2. If you haven't done that yet, I'd try that. Also, as a shot in the dark, which driver are you using, nv or nvidia, try switching it and see what happens. -- What was once is gone. What will be has not yet come. What is is all that is real. Live for the now.
