I have the same problem. First when I installed Mandrake 8.0, programs which
use OpenGL didn't work. So I downloaded nVidia drivers. I installed them and
everything was ok. TuxRacer , glTron, and Chomium worked perfectly. A few
days later I change something in Mandrake Command Center, and MCC changed
XF86Config, switch again to nv, and removed load GLX. I repaired XF86Config,
now I run XFree without errors, have nVidia splash screen, but games don't
run. I have the same behavior, game switch monitor, play few notes, then
hang with blank screen. I reinstalled nVidia drivers but it didn't help.
