Yeah I got it running on SuSe 9.3 straight away (on the same PC - but got
so sick of not being able to easily install software - I am growing to
dislike RPM and YAST!). So perhaps it has something to do with my
Kernel-Image from Debian. Hmm

I am beginning to wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I'm
running AMD64 kernel and the debian apt package may be targeted to
386/686. It shouldn't tho - as this is a source module.

I've also tried downloading the run script from NVidia.com.

I don't think 3D is supported yet in Xinerama. Well at least most places I
visit say so - I could be a little out of date on that.
