Now it is a beautifull sunny  morning in Tyrnävä and my Gobo Linux looks
great. After "modprobe nvidia" "NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module" is loaded and
I could configure the desktop to LCD:s native resolution.

But cf. "The idea is to always show the licence agreement screen so that the
user
becomes aware of it,", so should I
 wget http://gobolinux.org/download/scripts/InstallNvidia and install NVIDIA
again?

I can live without seeing NVIDIA licence agreement, but?

By the way: In nearly every Linux (Fedora Core, Knoppix, Mandriva, Suse and
Ubuntu) it has been a hard job to get NVIDIA installed and running well with
my GeForce Nvidia 6200 display card. Even in the case of Suse 10.2 I could
not get 3D acceleration to work. Only Sabayon Linux had NVIDIA installed and
working well from the beginning.

I know the driver is proprietary, but still - I bought Nvidia 6200 for the
sake that Nvidia display card were told to work well with Linux's. How
terrible is the life with other display cards?
