All u need do, is uninstall Mesa and/or any conflicting GL implementations, and install the NVIDIA rpms/tarballs/whatever. Once ur done, edit ur /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file,and look for a line that goes Driver "nv" Change it to Driver "nvidia" That should get u up and running. Once u play a game or two, dont forget to send a mail to Nvidia and tell them that binary only drivers suck;). The DRI team is doin' a great job, and if only NVIDIA could be as cooperative towards the DRI project as ATI, the gaming world on Linux, would be a much better place. > bye > ac /Sumeet -- ___________________________________________________________ This message was brought to you by Linux, the free unix.
