Nonsense, I have two nvidia cards and have tested many others,
The outcome is very simple.
go to
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php
and download the 2.6.6.----427 kernel
and install it, reboot
and download the nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com
switch to init 3 and execute the NVIDIA installer.
The main issues are with 4X cards and the agp bus the seem to lock up
you computer.
to fix this is easy vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
go to the driver section and at the bottom of this section add a line
Option "NvAGP" "0"
or use 1 2 3 see the nvidia README for more info.
on all of my 4x cards I have had to set them to 1 which is the Nvidia
built in agp.
My advise on a cheap card with 3D would be an 8x 32mb ge-force they go
for about R350 (Rand) and in dollars that would be about $50
Else see if you can get a seconf hand geforce 2
