Well, yes, X is crashing - I do know that, but, I haven't been 
able to figure out why. I did spend some considerable time on 
the NV forum the night before last, trying to sort it out, but, 
I'm at the point of having to turn on some logging and let folks 
look at results, and I haven't had time to get to that yet.

How so? My slower machine is getting 3X faster fps values than my 
dual-core with twice the ram...

To Gene: This machine (I'm at work, now), is a 2.8 GHz P4 with 1 
GB of ram. GLXgears just produced this:

glxgears
21379 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4275.750 FPS
30310 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6061.993 FPS
30308 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6061.511 FPS
30308 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6061.598 FPS
30152 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6030.331 FPS

Pretty good. This is with an NVidia GForce 5500, 256 mb ram, AGP 
8X card
