My theory is that somehow your GLX and/or OpenGL drivers are still Mesa. Did you install the NVIDIA-GLX RPM as well? I have a similar system and TuxRacer is really smooth. I would try to rpm -ivh --force both the nvida kernel modules and the glx rpms again and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, then try the following: find where the nvidia glx .so's are being installed. You can do this by opening up kpackage and inspecting the file list. in you xfree config file, rather than saying load "glx" say load "<nvida glx path>/libglx.so" my nvidia drivers are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions Also, I assume you're using XFree 4.20 and *not* 3.x. If you're using 3.x, I don't think you can get the 3d working with the nvidia cards. Good luck!

I know when the nVidia drivers aren't working becuase TuxRacer is simply unplayable. But it's a-rockin' right now. By the way, here's my relevant system info: 1.1GHz Athlon, 1.0 GB RAM, and GeForce 4MX 460. How close, in actuality, should the performance be between playing in Winsux and Linux? Is it possible that my XFree needs a tweak? Might UT need to be called up with special parameters? Is it possible that UT2003 is not using the nVidia drivers despite the fact they're there? I doubt this last one because the play is smooth until it's in the middle of really heated play.
