Nice, thanks! I'll try this out on a machine. On a related sidetrack; is there any difference between the proprietary Nvidia-drivers and the ones from eg rpmforge? Specifically, we use the proprietary Nvidia drivers on our dozen or so course computers because they support stereo-3D. When our former *nix-admin set this up years ago, there weren't anything else to use than the proprietary drivers. Hence my question. -- /Sorin
