Would it be theoreticly posible to remove the nvidia GLX modules & 
hooks, and use Mesa for opengl rendering? The most GL i'd wanna see on 
my work desktop is a screensaver so, as a temporary workaround, it would 
do me right

Come to think of it, its quite ironic. I have a video card that can 
render Quake3 screens at 1600x1200@32bit over 50 times a second, but 
doing page-down in mozilla using the opensource nvidia driver takes 
250ms for it to draw. Thats just silly!

ps, starting up X with that LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 line disables the 
kernel threads (for that process) i suppose.. will it have any adverse 
affects on performance or disable features on the desktop?
