side question, who in your opinion makes the absolute best graphics hardware
avail for the niX and X world ? Seriously, your opinion.

However RHEL 6.3 workstation claims that accelerated 3D graphics is not
available. I get this
by clicking on the System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects. Not sure what the
issue is but I am guessing it must be either the hardware ( NVidia Quadro FX
3500 ) or the driver in play. even stranger, there are two physical screens
but only one in xdpyinfo. That seems wrong or perhaps some XINERAMA magic.
Either way ... building a whole new X is a tad extreme but the extreme usually
works.
Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.
