Unmpf thanks.


BTW, for DEBIAN (!!!) and probably Ubuntu I recommend the attached
script which is better in the sense that no copy of libGL.so.1.2 of
the intel driver has to be made.

The nvidia-glx package you should have installed will divert this lib
to /usr/lib/nvidia/ and this script links to that.

Best wishes
