    LeRoy, thanks for this reply. Please clarify -- I am just a beginner:

    1) "Chmod it to executable..." What does that mean?

    2) "... and that sort of thing..." This is so open-ended I have no idea what
    to look for or what to do.

    3) Is the Nvidia driver you're saying I should download **different** than the
    one I get with the YaST on-line update?

    Thanks again. ;o)
    Gil
