Heh... was using it as an example OpenGL - that was before someone told
me about glxgears.

Have a Nforce2 motherboard, so GART for the NForce2 chipset isn't
supported. Upgraded to the 2.6.0-test9 kernel, worked fine, but as I'm
using an on-board NIC, I have to use an driver from NVidia, and it
wouldn't compile saying /usr/src/linux/modversions.h were missing - I
guess its because its a different kernel entirely - so catch 22
situation, either have GART support for NForce2 chipset, or have
Internet access. But then again, trying glxgears gave the same error
message as the old kernel plus one more line, even tho dmesg shows the
AGPGART driver finding the NForce2 chipset, and the G550 graphics card.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much for your help again :)
Cheers - Piers
