Hmmm - the suggestion from that thread is that it's an nVidia graphics
issue.

That could certainly be true.  The whole reason I did the upgrade
in the first place was so that I could use the 6111 version of the
OpenGL/X drivers for my nVidia 5200 FX card.  I need the GLSL compiler
that comes with that driver revision but it isn't at all easy to install
it under SuSE 8.0 without heavy kernel hacking.

If that's it, it's really bad news because I *need* that version
of the driver!
