Mandake sets up lots of nVidia cards just fine, but only with 2D. If you
want 3D then you have to go get the binary-only driver yourself. I
_highly_ doubt it if Redhat includes this driver. If so, I would loose
even more respect for them. As far as I am concerned I am done buying
anything from nVidia. I bought a TNT2 because they told us all there
would be open source drivers (including 3D). They lied and as a result
setting up 3D with their cards is going to tick off a lot of people.
Hopefully enough people will complain to them that they will see the
error in their ways.
