Transparent Colors in Off-Screen Graphics Rendering / dell-nvidia driver 8756

[Fuller, John]

Thanks Scott, 

I failed to mention that I'm running a cluster of 360/370 workstations
running RHEL3 using XFree86.  Unfortunately, we can't upgrade to RHEL 4
as of yet.

I'm using 8762 on a few Precision 380s with Quadro FX 1400 cards without

problems on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06.  Ubuntu comes pre-installed with the 
nvidia driver, just have to install the 'nvidia-glx' package and 
configure nvidia in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

Thanks,
