Craig there are many ways.......to get it working!
My son 6 of his friends and I frag with UT/StrikeForce every Saturday night
on Redhat boxes running monolithic custom compiles of course.....
These are A7V133 ASUS A7V266-E ASUS boards compiled with just nics/sound/agp
GF2 go, ultra/ ti models
I then don't have to load any modules and I can compile the src.rpms for NVIDIA
If you want I will email my X/ UT/ STrikeforce configs........
Yes Quake3 runs great too, I have seen none of these lockups everyone has
talked about.....
I don't like playing just Q3 it needs some military mods for it.....SF/UT is like
CS......but you can use the UT-bots and they are good enough for small lan games..
If you don't compile like I do then down load the NVIDIA rpms from
http://www.nvidia.com/drivers
I personally would go with the source even for a stock kernel and compile them...
rpm --rebuild --target i686 NVIDIA_kernelxxxx.src.rpm this my command-line on each box
Then install them from rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/NVIDIA_*
Anyway once the rpms are installed go to your X-config
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
in the modules section add Load "glx"
go down to the card section and change the driver from "nv" > "nvidia"
then install the game make sure it calls the right renderer and your set guy...
If you want those say so and I will send my configs..........and of course answer how easy
it is to get it up and running STRIKEFORCE is a cool mod.....
