Ahem, he said the NV driver that came with X, not the POS ones from nvidia.com. As long as AGP isn't disabled, it should work fine. I have an entirely healthy bias against the nvidia.com drivers from past experiences. -- MJR

But the NVdriver *is* the proprietary Nvidia one, there is no module/driver needed if you run the one included within X windows, except why you would want to I don't know, else how are you going to play Quake III?
