For Nvidia users the 877x series of drivers are recommended, unless you are using X.org 7.0 or higher. You should also check that you are using the official Sun JRE 1.5, instead of [[http://www.blackdown.org/ Blackdown Java-Linux]] 1.4.2-02 (as included by default with many 'fully GPL' distros), as it is known to cause problems.
