3D Hardware problem...

I've been searching around but I didn't found anything on this, but if this topic is repeated don't get all pissed off and flamming me...

I have a GeForce 2 MX 400, but I don't seem to have any hardware acceleration. I've searchd around, and it seems that the drivers that linux install don't include the 3D hardware bid. D'ya know what I could do to fix this?

BTW, my dist is FC3...

Go to www.nvidia.com and get their linux drivers in the downloads section. Be sure to read their Readme as it has a very exhaustive explanation on how to install the drivers.
Good luck,
Merijn

heh, there are a couple of good ones (I'm still a bit of a Samsung fan as well, but that's another story

Edit:
Oh yeah and try the HCL (top of the screen third link from the left) next time, it contains quite a lot of useful info, together with the tutorials.
