Just a WAG, maybe it's not the driver itself but rather some associated NVidia service that's always running to "help" the driver. I've always disabled those service(s) on installation because I can't stand extra stuff running on my machines, so I can't verify they're BLODA. FWIW, there are already other problematic graphics adapter drivers on the list: the ATI Catalyst drivers. ..mark -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
