OK- Tried the install and that went off without any problems. When I
changed the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to use the nvidia driver instead

it had been changed back to nv.
What I am trying to do is get the 3D stuff working so that I can use some
of the options on xscreensaver as well as a solitare game that I bought
(and had working under 9.1).
I have Mesa loaded and installed.
I guess that I don't have some config file set correctly, but am at a
loss as what to look for next.

You need to get the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website and run the installer. When you do it will tell you if it has an interface ready and available for the kernel. If it doesn't, then it will tell you that as well, and at that point it will ask you about recompiling. Run thru the questions and you should have some new Nvidia drivers installed.
After that you naturally need to follow the directions listed in
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-5328
Or whatever other /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_* directory was created. These directions will tell you what you need to do to the XF86Config-4 file.
If you get it working ok a report back telling about success would be nice.

Nothing ever works that easy for me.
Downloaded the 5336 run pkg.
Run it and get errors said that I needed to recompile
Made sure I had the Kernal sources loaded and tried the installer and then I get an error from the installer that it can't determine the NVIDIA Kernal level.
Now I am running 2.6.3-7 and the NVIDIA files are for 2.4
I expected to recompile for the 2.6 but it don't seem to get very far.
Where do I go from here?

I had a problem trying to get the nvidia drivers 5336 with 2.6.3.4mdk kernel so I upgraded to 2.6.3.8mdk. When I installed the drivers they were complied automatically and it worked find.
