not to sound like a commericial for the Mandrake Club, but I never could get
the NVidia drivers working on my dual CPU w/a Gforce4, Ti4400, until the
Mandrake club RPMs, and after downloading and running the drivers from the
club, I am smoking. if I start glX gears from a command prompt,
18111 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3622.200 FPS
22241 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4448.200 FPS
21559 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4311.800 FPS
21008 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4201.600 FPS

Is there any way to get nvidia rpms working in MDK 9.0?
The path: 2960 or 3123, plus load glx, plus nvnvidia,don't work at all.
A search with google, report:
type the following commands after logging in as root:
#cd /usr/X11R6/lib
#ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so libGL.so.1.2 ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so
#/sbin/ldconfig
#reboot
Is this correct, and safe? (I know how to uninstall GLX and kernel
nvidia's, but, and if something go wrong, I don't know how to undo all
that ln -s... stuff.)
Gracias.

The NVIDIA drivers require both the GLX driver and the NVIDIA driver
(make sure you have the source for the kernel installed on your system
as well - and if not, it's on CD3) - you're going to have to compile the
source for the NVIDIA main driver as they do not have the RPM on the
NVIDIA site.
You install the GLX driver first, then compile/install the NVDIA driver.
It will modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config.4 file (which you can edit
later). Once installed, reboot and then get into X - you'll love it.
Don't take any other advice other than what the README file says from
NVIDIA. You CAN damage the card quite easily.
