RH9

Gentoo has an nvidia kernel.

well, i'm using RH9 now--and the only distro i've used so far--but
that if i'm not mistaken uses the Xfree86 driver, which doesn't
support 3d ..

but good to know gentoo uses it .. aren't there other distros that
are "derived" from gentoo as well?

all distributions that i know about that contain an nvidia drivers and generic drivers and don't work as well as the ones from nvidia. I'm using mandrake and it contained a GeForce 4 driver that worked quit well, but it didn't give me all of the functions (TV out for example).

I know it's a hassle to get nvidia's driver to work, but that's what you want.

mostly everyone will have the "nv" driver but you have to go to nvidia to get the drive of 3d cards (i think)
