11 Nice tip thanks, but I packed it in diddling arond with nvidia.
12
13 Recompiled my kernel so no more unmatched stuff, then discovered I
14 could just use `nv' in xorg.conf and my redraw trouble disapears.
15
16 I've --unmerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.
17
18 Now that I think about it... Hermman mentioned doing that way back.
19
20 What I have now appears to redraw like I expect. So unless there is
21 some remarkable difference between using `nv' and `nvidia' to make it
22 worth the the trouble... I'm standing pat.
