I have taken all the steps to get the Nvidia drivers working. I tried the 
rpms because I was lazy, I tried the src.rpms because thats what real men 
use, and I tried the tarballs because that what everyone else uses. 
 I have LM 8.0 installed on:
AMD K6-2 500
ASUS P5A mobo   
256 MB ram
15 Gig WD HD
1.0-1251 NVIDIA Drivers
Hercules Prophet 2 MX PCI (yes PCI)

 I made the proper additions to the Xf86config-4 file I set the runlevel to 3 
and boot to a console. I am able to run games like Chromium but anything more 
advanced than that locks up my box like windows after you move the mouse. 
Tux racer and Quake 3 never get past the splash screens and I hear the sound 
but it is locked tight.BZflag never starts though it tries and open universe 
worked on my old diamond stealth 2000 2MB card. I have become an expert at 
issuing fsck and resloving filesystem problems I must say. I hate to use the 
old cliche but all works great in windows. Might this be related to the fact 
the card is PCI?
 I have invested more time in trying to resolve this than it took to rebuild 
the engine in my 76 280Z!!
 
 TIA,
 John W
