The nVidia driver isn't provded in source form....they're trying to keep everybody ignorant of their internals while still playing on Linux....it's been a cause celebre for a long time What I have in-hand seems to work acceptably well, for now. How will it work with a new kernel? Who knows? How well does what they have on their site now work? Another mystery issue, except that several people had problems with it recently. I did downloard the apt-get for RPM but haven't played with it yet. I'm hoping not to trigger a massive dependancy chain where I need to download piles of stuff over a dial-up line. That's one reason to do the dist-upgrade....mass quantities of RPMs on one CD-ROM already in-hand.
The Equinox card is less likely to be troublesome, but ya never know.
