Helena,

yes and no: Some time it was working, then I obviously over-configured the
Xfree4.0.2, now the openGL/glx stuff is causing problems. So I am back to
slow NVIZ :-( as I don't have the time for further experiments.
I'll give it another try later.

Take care that the Xfree server likes your NVIDIA card. Probably check here:
