Except for one small wrinkle....

I use neither livna or freshrpms.  I use the "standard" nvidia install on
RHELv4.  It used to work just fine.  I think it "broke" around the time
nvidia released 8774.  I think a new kernel also came out around the same
time.  But I hadn't noticed it for a while since I generally don't run video
intensive applications.  It was only when I ran google-earth that I noticed
performance had degraded and looked into it.

I'll be the first to admit that once I determined the problem and the simple
work around I was too lazy to go back and dig to find the root cause.  It
took so little effort/time to determine what was wrong and how to get around
it that I truly think it took me less than 10 minutes of effort, once I
noticed a problem, out of a normally busy day.
