Hi Omer, You didn't mention which driver do you use with your x and your NVidia card.
If it's the "nv" driver, then you might want to know that this driver doesn't have any 3D/OpenGL support at all, only the closed 'nvidia" driver (which you can get from nvidia's web site) has all the OpenGL stuff. After installing the "nvidia" driver, you'll need to modify your X configuration from the "nv" driver to "nvidia" and remove any configuration which sets DRI (driver loading, groups etc).
