Is this your gentoo machine? My gentoo box is a dual Athlon
with a nVidia drivers, and I'm having no problems.

I used to have a Matrox at my former company (R.I.P.) and I
agree that it is sharper for text...but the monitor is different
too so I can't really compare.

But, even though I'm not much of a gamer, I'm glad I got the
GeForce because I have been enjoying games more now that I
feel the need to exercise my card...and I'm stoked for the 
Neverwinter Nights Linux client to come out so I can really
let it rip.

I have to say, while I still love living in Japan, I don't
really like working in Japan much recently, bad time to be a
techie. But, I don't expect that it's much better anywhere
else right now.
