[UCLA-LUG] Followup to freaky X v.4 problem

[Mark James Fasheh]

hrm.  well, I _am_ having problems with X4.0...  Sawmill never seems to want
to start up anymore, so I've been using E (ugh).  Anyone have *that*
problem?  Anyways, I upgraded in order to grab the new drivers for my tnt2,
and might I say that I've been gettting a good 40-45 fps in games like
quake3!  Only problem is that my drivers aren't free(speech).  Needless to
say, I won't be buying from nvidia anymore..
