Rendering problem on linux but not on Windows XP

Hardware:
Laptop Toshiba 2410-514
Pentium IV M 2GHz
NVidia GeForce 4 420Go (I don't know if this is a MX card) 32 Mo

OS:
-Windows XP-SP1 + Driver NVIDIA 4.5.9.1
-Slackware current, kernel 2.6.7, glibc-2.3.2, gcc3.3.4, xorg 6.7.0, qt3.3.3, kde 3.2.3 + Driver NVIDIA 6111 & 6106

Problems under linux:
- orbit display problem similar to the one affecting MX card. Problem disappears when smooth orbit line is turned off. I didn't have this problem with 1.3.1.
- models (ISS, Hubble, Phobos) become emissive in certain conditions: position relative to planet, camera position, atmosphere rendering on/off, location text display on/off ... similar to the one affecting MX card. This problem happens only when the rendering path is OpenGL Vertex Program or OpenGL Vertex Program + NVidia Combiners.
- ISS rendering problem. If the camera is close, there are white things that change shapes and move on the surface of the modules when the camera is being moved:

Contrary to people with MX cards, I don't have any of these problems on WinXP.

Are you saying that I should checkout older versions of the shaders to fix the lightning problem?

I tested driver 5328 on Linux today. It didn't work either.
