First, set line length to wrap at 60 or so.

Second, while I am not familiar with TNT Riva2 cards,
if it takes an nvidia driver, you might try running
nvidia-xconfig

Jim:
I would be glad to reset the line length; unfortunately, I don't find any way
to do that with Pan 1.3.2. Anyone?

Does Pan 0.132 perhaps use Kate or some other editor
for composition? If so, line length might be set there.

You might consider upgrading to the fully-featured version.

I downloaded the latest driver from the NVidia site -
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run - and it installed perfectly
(Mandriva 2007.0, GEforce 6100).
