19 If you can get tuxracer to work, I would be much obliged. The only
20 solution I found on the Nvidia forums was to set NvAgp in your
21 XF86config, and I did, and the 4xxx drivers still flicker and crash in
22 tuxracer. Everything else seems to work fine. The biggest problem that
23 4x drivers introduced over 3x was the 2d problems, which seem to be
24 fixed. All my other games work very well with the new drivers, but
25 sometimes I just get the itch to race a penguin down a mountain. Doesn't
26 everybody? And if you're going to race a penguin down a mountain, you
27 might as well do it with good video drivers.
