Games like tuxracer use the framebuffer, IIRC. Your best bet is to try the free software 'nv' driver. If you run into anything you can't do then you can try the proprietary non-free 'nvidia' driver. I always start out with 'nv' just because it brings X11 up painlessless. [Which is rather the whole point of free software. Being free to distribute it can be distributed freely. The non-free software is required by law to be more painful. One should only use it if they have to and at that time they will pay for it with inconvenience if nothing else.] Bob
