Bye bye NVIDIA

Got rid of the problems with NVIDIA on the new Sojourner, actually, I guess I will, since I haven't got any reboot it yet.
Removed the NVIDIA drivers, and then I've been able to start the Desktop Effects w/o any problem.
I'm not a particular fan of the Desktop Effects per se, but I do like (I'm like a junkie actually) the Drop Shadow effect, and I find that Metacity's composite engine is painfully slow when it comes to the most mundane of tasks, like window switching via Alt + Tab.
It is bye bye NVIDIA, but not hello ATI, at least for the moment, I think.
