Wes, I don't think it matters that your kernel is i586. Your system must be i686 which is why the driver was compiled i686. That is the driver you install. If it doesn't work (like it didn't for me - seg faults), I'm sure it has nothing to do with i586/i686. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The only nvidia driver I got to work with 3D is the one from www.mandrakeuser.org for the 2.4.8-26mdk (a few months back). The only problem being that supermount doesn't work with that kernel. Those drivers were: NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1541.1mdk.i586.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.8-26mdk-1.0-1541.2mdk.i586.rpm (since I'm using the enterprise kernel I actually used this one:) NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.8-26mdk-enterprise-1.0-1541.2mdk.i586.rpm The nvidia drivers currently available at muo are built for the 2.4.8-34.1mdk, so you could try installing that kernel (http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=kernel) and those drivers.
