Hi Guys,

It would be helpful if you can also say which cards you have.  I have a
GeForce 7600 GS, a Geforce Go 7700, and a GeForce FX 5700 LE, all of
which work great with the proprietary nvidia driver.

I have heard that there are problems specifically with the newer 8
series and above cards under Linux.  From what I've heard, the drivers
have not yet caught up with the change to the new unified shader
architecture.

Best,
