hello,
I have installed the NVIDIA modules succesfully before in Suse 8.0 (abt a year ago, that were still two rpm's at that time --> I think it was one for OpenGL and one for the kernel module?)
now I want to do the same in Debian Sid (2.4.23 kernel), the driver is now unified in one file
In fact I think I have succesfully installed the kernel-module now, so when I startx I get the nice NVIDIA screen. No problems with fluxbox and so on...
But after installing the nvidia drivers I can no longer play frozen-bubble or start Licq (al other programs still work fine). Also ut (the first one) still does not work

I have also changed XF86Config-4 (glx is loaded, dri and glcore are commented out, nv changed to nvidia as explained in nvidia README). Because my nvidia card didn't work I also tried if it would help to turn glcore and dri back on but nothing changed. I have just reinstalled ut (I thought maybe OpenGL programs had to reinstall after Nvidia installation) but that didn't work.
I have googled, searched this forum and the nvidia linux forum... lot of problems with NVIDIA-OpenGL but not an answer to my problem.
thanks for reading this terribly long post
and if you have a clue, that would be great
thanks!

EDIT: forgot to say, I CAN play tuxracer now
(I couldn't do this before I installed the nvidia drivers)
