Re: mouse wheel scroll freezes gnome2 (and x)

[Dan Dube <dandube13 yahoo com>]

installing the new nvidia driver seems to have fixed
the problem, i can scroll the mouse in gnome2 to my
heart's content.  moving windows around seems to be
working better, too.

i did not have to remove them.

1.0.4643 seems to have fixed the problem i was having.
 the nvidia drivers now come with an install script
that puts everything in its right place.  i don't even
have to know how to use linux at all any more!  

thanks for the help and prompt replies!
