I don;t know about the "vesa" driver I think it will run for Geforce 3 & 4 as the default driver in Psyche. While I still use Geforce 2 and the default use "nv". I test it with game such tux racer and chromium, using the "nv" driver is drop... but not with the "nvidia" driver works better

I upgraded both the kernel and the GLX files and verified the "alias char-major-195 nvidia" statement was also correctly there. I am now able to load the kernel and GLX divers, but it's still *WAY* slower than the original vesa driver. Any ideas why this is so slow now? I also noticed that the NVi

I know it's not directly related to this list, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the latest drivers from NVidia (build 4191) to work with kernel 2.4.18-8.0. I have tried both the pre-compiled redhat 8.0 version and building it from the source RPM file. No dice. The kernel fails to
