Whereas my ATI Radion 9200SE does tuxracer just fine using the default
drivers compiled into the kernel, using x.org-6.8.1-901, home built.

My last nvidia card failed, and burnt the mobo up too.  But I've since
taken that cpu, put it and the half gig of memory on a Mach-Speed board
with the onboard video disabled and a newer nvidia card in it, and its
running my milling machine fairly well using emc-4.30.
