If i install by synaptics the drivers (the last burst the xorg.conf)
""At the restart point the screen (all pixels) seems burning"" that stay
the time for the restart time machine after it's "Nickel, magnifique Ô
top !"

For compiz a this time ... no compiz possible running
But if i work with one's hands the install the drivers old nvidia driver
out of X, it works !

At this times the window manager disapeard and the cube ... works really
fast, really.

Thanks for your help
