This Product works well out of the box on x using the nv driver on 2.6.x kernels. Added it to my Slackware 10.0 box and had 3d acceleration up and running in x in minutes with the nVidia drivers located here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-5336.html
SIMPLE INSTALL!!!!!!
The script managed to compile and install the driver on my system without ANY headaches at all. Just had to edit the xorg.conf file following the instructions in the README.
1180 fps in glxgears (box)
480 fps in glxgears (Fullscreen)
It works great with Fedora too, but it's a little harder to get set up. Once you install the drivers, you have to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf config, and comment or remove the line saying "load "dri"", and change the video driver from "nv" to "nvidia". And for me at least, to make it load at boot, you have to put it the following commands after installing:
Then to be able to have 3d acceleration as a normal user you have to put in:
#chmod 777 /dev/nvidia*
Once you do that you should have everything working fine.
