John -

Yes they were the NVidia supplied drivers, and it was the Athlon64/Opteron
build.

Too bad, I was excited about the new drivers actually working (compared to
the old ones).

Lorenzo,
  It sounds to me like NVidia broke their drivers, this isn't the first
time
such things have happened. You're using the NVidia-supplied drivers
right?
The 1.8.3a7 version you were using, was it the 64-bit Athlon64/Opteron
build,
or was it the standard Linux version?

Thanks,
  John Stone
