The OP is referring to the two or three choices he sees when he cranks 
up jockey. They all relate to the nVidia driver. I see three as well. 
When firefox started to look wonky, with blue fleshtones in videos and 
smeared text, I tried the next one, then the next one, with a reboot 
inbetween. I don't understand the difference in the three, but all three 
are version 173.

That is what I think the OP was getting at, what is the difference 
between the similar looking proprietary drivers? Ric
