Yep, did that, too. You gotta remember, I had just installed SUSE 
afresh, and did the updates during the installation.

Now, as it is, I managed to get CentOS re-installed cleanly, and 
remembered to leave out the 3rd party junk, and simply built the driver 
from source. Under FreeBSD, glxgears run almost 1200fps. In CentOS, it's 
about 1050fps. Quite comparable, if you ask me.

I keep finding new reasons I like CentOS. SaX has choked on about half 
the hardware I've ever owned. CentOS hasn't balked on anything yet.
