its easy man :) !

in the 'module section' write just under 'load v4l

load glx

and in the 'device section'

change 

'Driver nv' to 'Driver nvidia

then restart your x-server or reboot :) and if you see a 'nvidia
splashscreen' when xserver starts it worked !

 - keep the X in your system -

I am having a heck of a time trying to get the new Nvidia RPMs for
Mdk8.2 
working.  I downloaded and installed both files according to the
instructions 
that the Nvidia web site gives for installing the RPMs.  I have also
tried to 
do the upgrade.  It seems to go through the motions, but nothing is
working.

How do I check to see that the driver is installed and the video card is

actually using that driver?

I have to get it working so my kids will stop bugging me about the
TuxRacer 
game not working.  I am so stuck, please help.
