So the XFree non-openGL bits work fine.I have such a card and unless I want to use 3D stuff it works fine. If you want to play a game, run opengl-update nvidia, and then play. > Is there any hope to remedy these problems? How other distros handle > the nvidia probs?

Well in there case, any use of the nvidia shared librarys will make prelink not produce quicker dynamic symbol resolution (startup times). In fact binary distrobutions lose the prelink benefits everytime you upgrade a library. Prelinking only help you there if you use the EXACT packages they provide.

MS executables running under wine do not use ld-linux.so.2 as their linker, wine does that for them, and so prelink cannot do anything. It links dlls not ELF files. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
