RE: nvidia drivers

["BG" <willygilly attbi com>]

Drivers are available as RPMs on the NVIDIA website.  I downloaded them,
installed them and set the following variables in the X config file:

Change:  Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia"
make sure the config file contains: Load "glx"
remove:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"

The drivers work great and I get all the great NVIDIA features like OpenGL,
etc.

It's true that the NVIDIA cards will "work" bare bones with RH, but the cool
features like OpenGL won't.  You need the NVIDIA drivers for that.

Good luck,
Bill
