    With the default FC2 4k stack kernel, you cannot get 3D acceleration from
    your NVidia card (3D driver won't work). However you do get 2D acceleration.
    So unless you want to play 3D games, that is fine.

    If you want the 3D acceleration of your NVidia card to work, you'll have to
    upgrade your kernel to an 8k stack version, which is easiest to do by
    installing a kernel from
    http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php
    . Then install the NVidia driver.

    HTH.
