I would *really* like to avoid having to >upgrade/change my kernel version and use the Nvidia drivers. The "nv" driver is 2D acceleration only. It does not support 3D acceleration on Nvidia video hardware, and will never do so. Nvidia does not provide open source 3D acceleration support in XFree86, and as such the only way of obtaining 3D acceleration support for Nvidia hardware is to use Nvidia's proprietary drivers. The "accel" and "noaccel" options are 2D acceleration options and do not have any effect on 3D. -- Mike A.
