I would sincerely suggest at least trying the official Nvidia ones then. It certainly couldn't hurt, they're easy to install and easy to remove. Just download them from http://www.nvidia.com/ There are *several* options that are present in the Official NVidia drivers that are not present in the standard ones that comes with XFree86/RedHat. 3D Hardware Acceleration being a glaring one. -- Shawn <drevil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.warpcore.org/
