Actualy the best way is to test the 7.0beta while you can still say "hey
somethings not right here". After you've setup your video (if you had to
tweak it after install) add the following to the /etc/X11/XF86Config
--cut
Section "Module"
load "glx-nv.so"
EndSection
--cut
In a console run "gears" and then "glx gears" and you should see the
improvement.
