In the meantime, you could install Linux 2.6.33, upgrade X and Mesa to the current releases (1.7.5 and 7.7 are in Debian unstable), and give the 'nouveau' driver a try. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.

Possibly, but as I'm running Centos 5 I don't want to mess about with it too much. Turns out though that the nVidia driver supplied with Centos 5 works fine, now. It didn't used to like my dual monitor set-up.
