I wondered.  I was about to test the nVidia driver again tomorrow.

The reason I made the switch was that fonts in Thunderbird were 
displayed as unduly small - not very small but smaller than they should 
display.  When I use the Vesa driver, the fonts in Thunderbird look right.

I'm using the Vesa driver on PCLinuxOS 0.93 because the Vesa driver gets 
all fonts out of proportion - they become unduly large and it becomes 
very difficult to adjust fonts so that all windows of all applications 
are in proportion and fit happily within the screen.

I am not having the rippling effect with Vesa on PCLinuxOS, so I am 
guessing there has been some change in the Vesa driver from PCLOS 0.93 
to KateOS 3.2.
