Meanwhile I tried ET myself with an Nvidia card and it
appears to work fine, also the main menu is smooth as
it should be. I'm not at the machine right now, but 
I'll have a look at the startup messages and see if 
they are different from yours.

Maybe it's harmless, but this looks suspicious to me.

Looks OK. AFAIR s3tc is nvidia only, so it's normal that 
it is not found.

It works for me apparently. I'll get a startup message 
and compare it with yours.
