You guys are over my head with the 3d and framerate stuff (not a gamer),
but I ran accross this that might help:
HOW TO MAKE AN NVIDIA GEFORCE WORK WITH A LINUX 2.5 KERNEL
(Source: LinuxWorld.com) If you really want to live
dangerously try playing games with a kernel from the latest
development branch, 2.5. You probably can't, because the Nvidia
accelerated driver won't compile with the latest 2.5 kernels. At
least not until you follow the tips here.
