Quite the contrary, Rickf. With the use of the Nvidia drivers OpenGL and other graphics tools are available. OpenGL is not available with the Nvidia cards when using the RH boxed driver.
Nvidia does an excellent job keeping up with new releases of RH as well. I think they had new drivers for 7.3 in RPM format posted on their website in less than 1 month after the release of 7.3. I have to say that considering the power of the Nvidia hardware and software the combination have to be one of the smoothest installs I've ever done in any Linux system with any hardware. Just adding a new disk drive to an existing system is more work than installing an Nvidia card and software.
