Strange, I run two systems with Matrox cards (G550 &G400) and didn't have any 
problems.

Did you use Nvidia binairy drivers ? Interesting because I've seen this 
problem too  but you can hardly blame RH for bad nvidia drivers.

Wow, I never saw a Linux box that I wasn't able to repair. 

Anyways, I've two PC's running RH9 now and I'm very happy with it. xine runs 
fine here. I don't use real format a lot but I'm able to play some real 
streams as well.

Only small problem I had was compiling dxr3 drivers. RH patched the kernel and 
I had to change the source of the dxr3 driver to get it working again (is in 
the dxr3-devel archive if someone is interested).
