Nary a hiccup in the barrel. It did take several tries with the "hardware drivers" app to finally get it to work though. Nouveau is a ways off to become a replacement for the stock nvidia driver. I don't have the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package installed. I think I ran into a conflict with it early in my fresh install of Lucid.

I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks. BTW: In xorg.conf do you user Driver "nvidia" or "nv"? </div> </div>Best regards Thomas Olsen
