The comment about Tux Racer wasn't really related to this, but it hasn't |
| 46 |
worked since I installed the latest (1.0.4191) drivers. The same thing |
| 47 |
happened when I put the latest drivers on my friend's computer (a fresh |
| 48 |
RedHat 8.0 install). |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Anyway, that's unkind of them to call it a source rpm if there's no |
| 51 |
source. Don't tease me like that! |
| 52 |

Oh, well, I still like Nvidia :-p |
