I have found 24 bit displays are snappier with the nvidia driver - I don't have a benchmark to back it up though. I might run one if I can be bothered tonight. Another advantage of the nvidia driver is that it provides Xv support for non GeForce chipsets. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
