Hello, it seems that the NVIDIA developers will only fix it if they have time to do it. I guess that the legacy driver does not have a high priority. I tried the nouveau driver and it works on my old GeForce 3 even with compositing. It is a little bit slow but it does the job. Thanks for the hint. But on my other computer the nouveau driver does not work with a GeForce 7. It is weird. Two NVIDIA graphic cards and one needs the closed source driver and the another one the open source one.

I don't know what you think, but I don't get the part where the nvidia dev says they plan to fix it, but he can't promise if and when. So they plan to fix it, but don't really know if they plan to fix it.
So basically, you're screwed unless you plan on buying a GeForce 6 or newer. Maybe a good time to try the nouveau driver?
I don't have a system with an Nvidia vga currently, but from waht i hear it's getting quite good.
mvg, Guus
