[SDL] possible bug: SDL + Mandrake 8.0 + GeForce 2 MX

[srainald at netscape.net]

Strangely this only seems to happen with SDL based 3D games and programs.  All of the Mesa demos run just fine (accelerated).  I have the latest drivers from NVIDIA's site, and all other software are the versions which shipped with LM8.0:

* XFree86-4.0.3-7mdk
* kernel-smp-2.4.3-20mdk

Here are a few interesting details which I've encountered regarding this problem:
