I thought linux was supposed to be app friendly. this sounds very windows like.
Anyone running Abaqus and Ansys with a quattro 4800 graphic card?

Its just a driver issue - the GFX Card manufacturers like to keep their cards to their chest, so dont release full specs on the cards...
Cant help beyond that - other than to say I think that the nVidia support is still better than the ATI support (its why I tend to buy nVidia)
Also I don't go anywhere near DeadRat Linux, so don't know how up to date the nVidia drivers would be, tho I know the ones on Ubuntu were fine the last time I tried them.
Sorry to not be of much use - my suggestion, try an install on an Ubuntu 10.10 machine and see if it all works then - I suggest 10.10 as it is the most up to date, so is more likely to have better nVidia drivers than 10.4LTS (which I would have recommended if this was a "switch to Ubuntu totally" reply, with it being an LTS release).
That way you may be able to point the finger at the Driver more readily, and get RedHat to do something about it (I assume the reason they use RedHat is for the Paid Support...)
