For nVIdia? I've been manually building the driver using the proprietary
kit. One of these days, I'll try the... who is it, rpmforge? that has the
packages? If that works, I'll have a literal handful of machines that I'll
do that for.

Right, and it's not online. Big changes, if it ever does go online. Hey, I
was just using my box a year and a half ago. But I built it for its
purpose: no compilers, no X, no diddly-squat, *and* I'd run Bastille Linux
on it. To the best of my knowledge, over 10 years, I'd never had an
intrusion.

*If* I could pin down the exact cause, and I can't play around with the
machine, since the user needed it *now*....
