You can still use the nvidia xfree driver, but you cannot use the nvidia |
| 7 |
libGL.so library (opengl-update xfree). So the XFree non-openGL bits work |
| 8 |
fine.I have such a card and unless I want to use 3D stuff it works fine. |

If you want to play a game, run opengl-update nvidia, and then play. |

Well in there case, any use of the nvidia shared librarys will make |
| 16 |
prelink not produce quicker dynamic symbol resolution (startup times). In |
| 17 |
fact binary distrobutions lose the prelink benefits everytime you upgrade |
| 18 |
a library. Prelinking only help you there if you use the EXACT packages |
| 19 |
they provide. (not a later or earier version) |

MS executables running under wine do not use ld-linux.so.2 as their |
| 25 |
linker, wine does that for them, and so prelink cannot do anything. It |
| 26 |
links dlls not ELF files. |
