Ignore my previous mail. The screensaver just kicked in
and the 3D now longer functions.
I think I'll forget Nvidia and get a graphics card from
another manufacturer that doesn't involve so much
hassle under Linux.

Any suggestions (cheap)?

Sounds familiar i had to jump through hoops to get the nvidia working ok, 
seems Sax2 has a nasty habit of selecting the dummy driver , after installing 
the nvidia package along similar lines to yourself, started sax and chose my 
relevant card there were several cards fitting my cards description however 
some were linked to the nv driver some to the nvidia driver!
Ended up choosing anything that fitted the bill most closely using the nvidia 
driver in my case a GF-4-MX440se.

You think nvidia's bad! i've got an ATI radeon 9000 pci board you could have 
which would give you a nervous breakdown. ;)

On a more positive tilt i could burn you a dvd of my Suse RPMS, which runs to 
about 2.5 gigs of kernels,sources,rpms and most of the suse 8.2 apt 
repository,and includes nvidia drivers past and present.
Or for that matter SUSE 9 ?

All the best,

Lee
