adding the EXT_framebuffer_object OpenGL extension just shows that nvidia is actively reading the X.org mailing list :)

I stuck with this crappy Ati driver that won’t suspend properly and freezes solid simple games like gish….. Where as my nvidia desktop downstairs runs every 3d app I throw at it perfectly

Gives me weird XID something messages when playing Doom3 which sometimes results in a black-screen (game is still running). These are the first drivers ever that don’t work on my hardware, I’m back to the last 6xxx release which works perfectly.
