Yup! The Nvidia openGL driver is not open-source, so can't be distributed with Linux. You have to get on the Nvidia web site and download their driver. I think they may have a pure binary driver, they also have a compiled but not linked driver that will link to your kernel library when you install it. Then you have to adjust your xorg.conf file to use the new driver. When you restart X, if you get a full-screen nvidia logo, it is going to run. Then, try glxgears to make sure that openGL can link up with the driver. If you get 2000+ FPS, it is running.
