typically installing drivers for linux is _much_ more painful than for
windows.
_all_ machines i've seen didn't work properly, at least from start, this
says something, ye?

the solution that will work almost for sure - kompletely kill winxp and
reinstall it from scratch, then install drivers.
(btw, are you sure you have _nVIDIA_ GeForce? other vendors can have some
incompatible drivers, i've heard ASUS has some problems with it)..

Not really. DirectX is theirs, OpenGL is not. It's all about money youQuote:> Hi again!

What do you mean with "flickers problem"? Does the screen refresh in 60 HzQuote:> I've no idea on
> how to avoid that flickers problem.It never append with
If you mean that the "flickering" is lack of vertical sync, ie you see a
"tearing" across the screen, you can force this again with RivaTuner. The
setting is under OpenGL and is called VSYNC.
Btw, there is a FAQ, although probably quite old since it's mainly for GF2
cards:
