Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm running Fedora, and a cursory google suggests opengl-update is a
Gentoo-ism.

However, running glxinfo says

<cut>
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce4 MX 440/AGP/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4.1 NVIDIA 53.36
OpenGL extensions:
</cut>

and the libGL.so is a symlink to the nvidia file.  So I assume that it's
alright.

Craig
