type: glxinfo into a terminal and see if you get some. type: /sbin/lsmod into a terminal and see if NVdriver is loaded. If no NVdriver in lsmod, as root type: modprobe NVdriver and try out tuxracer. If it works, then fix the alias in /etc/modules.conf to read: alias /dev/nvidia* NVdriver we'll just take it from there, if that don't fix you up, come on back. -s
