Like I said, might have been an illusion - I have 3 distros on
this computer..Sid - Ubuntu Maverick and Ubunty Natty...I have
left Maverick with the Nouveau driver so we'll see. I am undecided
what to do with Natty...I mean it's already quite buggy (it's in
Alpha) so I may stick with Nouveau there as well. Sid is the
one I use 80% of the time. It would be **so* nice if Nvidia
open-sourced their Linux drivers!!!!!
