Hoary pitfalls?

[Samuel Thurston, III]

Myles, I certainly understand your apprehension, but Ubuntu community
is just a bit more forgiving than your average linux list.

I have an NVidia card, admittedly an old one, and I've held off
upgrading because of the below warning, and because I can't really
afford to lose accelleration, being a character animator.   I too
would love to hear what cajoling you had to do to get the new drivers
to work under Hoary and X.org.

Thanks again, community, you've been extremely helpful.  I owe you all a lot.
