There is already a howto for all this, but it is somewhat a horror to get OpenGL work under Linux with XFree4 and Nvidia drivers. The mini-HowTo can be found at: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Nvidia-OpenGL-Configuration-mini-HOWTO/index.html Looks somehow like the chambers of shaolin for packagers. -- WfG, Chris
