that's a good point, I have a Gforce 2 GTS and as far as i recall i never downloaded any drivers for the linux side, so I must be runninf the X-free drivers, now, funny thing, when i try to run houdini from a Shell, I get as far as seing the houdini image on the screen, and then it dies, i check the procesess and Hserver keeps runiing, and there's another process which name i don't remember in defunct. so do you think that I should install the vendors drivers?

I'm running RH 7.1 with KDE, I installed the apprentice edition and the instalation process went smoothly, but I haven't been able to run it, acording to the documentation at some point i'm supossed tpo be asked about the licensing, anyways, I can succesfully setup the environment and i try running both houdini and hkey but they are both dumping cores, any ideas?
