Are you sure you compiled the Nvidia driver in SMP mode ?
Also, I got some problems running several OpenGL contexts
with that version of the driver. When I switch back to
1.0-125, the problems are gone. Give a try ...
Anyway, the latest versions are mainly updates about the
GeForce3, so with a Quadro it shouldn't matter that much.
