In this thread on the official forums for Knights of the Old Republic, there's some details about the first patch for the game which will hopefully be out within a week's time.

• Added two new "swkotor.ini" sound options,
  [Sound Options]
  Environment Effects Nonstreaming=1
  Environment Effects Streaming=1
  
  The Environment Effects Streaming=0 option was added to fix a problem with sound pauses while playing the game with an Intel i845 or i850 chipset motherboard and a 100 MHz Front Side Bus.
• removed the awareness penalty when running
• Made a fix to the "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects" option in "swkotor.ini".
  
  [Graphics Options]
  Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1
  
  If you are having some odd, random graphics issues you may be able to resolve them by adding an entry to your "swkotor.ini" file.
• Made a fix to the Enable Hardware Mouse option when it is disabled. This fixes a crash with certain ATI Radeon 9600 video cards.
• Made a fix to a display issue with Small Fonts.
• Made a fix to a gamma issue after movies finish playing.
• Removed the display of Force Points on portrait tooltips for non-Jedi characters.
• Fixed bug where some objects in the game would give a sticky mouse indicator like they had an inventory when they did not.
• Fixed an issue where if you changed appearance while Force Speed was active your movement rate would return to normal.
• Fixed an issue with droid animation when the item they were using ran out or their target died.
• The turret mini-game should no longer have the blur visual effect if you enter it with that visual effect turned on.
• The Security option no longer displays for doors which a key is required.
• Fixed a rare bug where the game could get stuck if an autopause was triggered at the exact same time as an area transition.
• Fixed a rare crash that could happen when a Dark Jedi dies at the exact same time as he deflected a blaster bolt.
• Fixed a rare crash on startup under Windows 98.
• Fixed a few memory leaks.

I'd like to see an option in swkotor.ini like:


That'd make my day, because I'm really sick of that turret minigame.
