Russ since my NVidia based card is so old I've never bothered with the proprietary drivers. That would mean I'll be of no help. It's a Creative Graphics Blaster 16 MB, good in it's day but.... Yes you'll need both the kernel and GLX driver files to install as well as editing the XF86-4 configuration file you'll find in /etc/X11. The instructions on the NVidia site used to be fairly clear but it's been a while since I helped anyone install the drivers, sorry. A better site to get the correct drivers may be Ranger's. He's one of the developers that helps build what we're playing with here, you know, Mandrake? Here's the url: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake9.0/ To find the version of XFree you have the easiest way is probably to use the keys (simultaneously) crtl-alt-F1 and you'll drop back to the console login screen. The information should be there. To get back to your desktop use the same keys except substitute F7 for F1.
