yes i have an nvid 6800U there is one huge problem i am worried about  
moving to linux for. i had a problem with my graphics card, the 2d  
clock speed was 20MHz or something under the 3d clock speed, this  
caused me to A: loose hair, and B: cause all of my games and 3d apps  
to freeze up. is there any way in linux that i can adjust the clocks  
for the gpu?
oh and by the way, as far as cedega goes im really just looking for  
City Of Villans support

sorry about my English, had to write this quickly
