There is a fundamental difference between the architecture of XF3 and 4, so
you can't directly compare them. The XF4 NVidia glx module seems to have
problems setting up DMA on the card, resulting in complete system lock up.
Not good, but at leastwith a Reiser system I'm not too nervous about hitting
the reset button. Craig binned Nvidia glx, I have stuck with it so far....
