Gretings! Well, the drivers for your card are out there on nVIDIA's site. But instead of the RPM, grab the two tar.gz files. The instructions are on their page, but if my memory serves me right heres a quick reference: after d/l both tarballs unpack each cd into the kernel modules' subdir and as root, run 'make' cd into the GLX modules subdir and as root run 'make' edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file to have the 'nvidia' device driver and disable DRI. Restart, or run ldconfig to make sure the libraries got installed right (again as root). I have been using nVIDIA products for nearly 6 years. No problems. They also have IMHO the easiest driver to install.
