 Well, I replaced the guts of the computer with a Gigabyte G31M-ES2L
motherboard, a 1.8GHz Celeron, and 1GB of RAM. Once I removed the old
nvidia-glx package everything seemed to come up fine. My dad can play
Peggle once more. :->

 I have the old MB, CPU, and RAM available if someone wants it.
Apparently the AGP slot is hosed, but with a PCI video card it'd make a
decent server. It's a Gigabyte K8NSC-939 motherboard, a 939-pin Athlon
64 3000+ CPU, and 1GB of DDR RAM. Free to a good home.

 Sincerely,
