Xorg + closed source Nvidia

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

I discovered what my problem is with Xorg, now that it
has made it as the X-window-system in Debian Unstable.

Currently run TNT2 on AGP and MX-440 on PCI and the
7167 Nvidia closed source driver.

Not being a gamer I never had these in my
XF86Config-4:

	Option      "RenderAccel" 		"true"
	Option 	    "AllowGLXWithComposite" 	"true"

But trying Xorg the docs say to turn those on and...

The X server that you will be using will peg at 100%
and hang in a tight loop.

The gory details are here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=31858&page=1&pp=15

That forum also mentions it is a sigalarm loop in the
driver.

That bug has been around for a long time and
apparently not about to be fixed.

How did anybody game with Nvidia? Who knows I am not a
gamer.

I would be grateful for card recommendations. Now I am
thinking of 2 dvi Matrox cards because Mark Hurenkamp
reported that he had vc's running on 4 heads with
2.6.9.

Thanks.

Hugo
