it *does* look like the first char has been dropped.
It does indeed, I know. But I may be one of the very few people using wvdial directly on a console, so that not many people have noticed that behaviour.
P.S.: I'm looking at the thread of your problems with nvida, but I have no help to give there. I also have an nvidia card, but I haven't seen that problem - yet.
It is probably (??) a combination of the Riva TNT2 card, kernel and nvidia driver. What I really don't understand is that it worked with the 5336 driver for ~5 months before trouble. The 4620 driver has given me back additional X sessions, correct (or seemingly) logon to level 5 and jumped from 89 fps to 1200 fps in kde and Xfce. That's a new wrinkle. NOTE: fps were down in the 5336 driver also.
Probably some patch triggered the problem. Software is so complex nowdays that a little change on a corner may have unforeseen consequences on a totally diferent and unrelated (aparently) corner. By the way, I get around 800 fps on the small window of glxgears (the TV is on). At full window I get 114. When minimized (not shown) it goes to 4000. CPU (PIV-1800)is up to 100%. I have a "NV11 (GeForce2) Board" (64Mb): DeviceName=GeForce2 MX/MX 400 VendorName=nVidia Corporation SubVendorName=Micro-star International Co Ltd And the driver is: /lib/modules/precompiled/2.6.5-7.75-default/nvidia/gfx//nv-linux.o-1.0-5336.pre which is the one YOU installed for me when upgrading to SuSE 9.1. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
