I've got an Nvidia GeForce4 MMX440, which worked OK until 8.10, when
special effects stopped. I tried the new driver but had problems, so
I've managed without special effects. I was using 96.45.07 - I saw

Michael, Kev,
Thanks for your comments and pointing me to the bug report.
I am using Intrepid 32 bit. The bug report mentions a number of
xorg.conf tweaks so that could be it. I would be interested to see your
xorg.conf, Kev. The following comes up a lot:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Hi Rob
I presume this is for your LTSP server?
Have a trawl through the LTSP mailing list over on
SourceForge - I seem to remember that someone had a similar problem on a
Ubuntu installation just before Xmas and a work around was provided.

Slightly off topic.
On my PC I use Firefox when both in Ubuntu and Windows. Is it possible to
utilise a FAT partition to act as a common storage place for bookmarks
between the two variants of FF? And really pushing the boat out,also the
browsing history which I know is managed by SQLite
Yes I did - up to Intrepid, though it took some fiddling then - I can't
remember quite what I needed to do, nor did I ever try it wine.
Originally I did have some odd font problems but they seemed to be
caused by an oddity in my /home.
I do have copy of my old xorg if that's of any use

Yes I have,
What version of Ubuntu are you running on the second PC ?
There were problems with Intrepid because of the new Xorg server and nvidia
not having released a driver that was compatiable with it, though this is
mostly resolved now:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphic
I have two Ubuntu systems, this one using an Nvidia 8400 quite
successfully and anther one which is only used for my Amateur Radio
activities.
The second PC has an Nvidia MX440 in an AGP slot. The 2D nv driver works
OK but I would like to be able to run programs using OpenGL. To this end

See below. Public domain, do as you like.
By default the script will assume the username "visitor". You can pass a
different username as a parameter if you wish.
