Huh, if you don't mind me asking, which video card? I've used linux+nvidia pretty exclusively for work and never seen anything near as bad on linux (I do run higher-end cards than the average PC, though).

On OS X, on the other hand...

If memory serves, it might have been a "Quadro NVS 110M", which is equivalent to the super-old "GeForce Go 7300". It was an old laptop.
