Try gentoo if you got a broadband connection.Setup for nvidia and 3d acceleration is a piece of cake with it.
Forgot to mention:reading is required for the installation - no gui.

Perhaps you should download the OpenGL drivers... or perhaps you should install the system properly. I am running Mandrake 9.1 and have no problem at all. I even run Quake3 (THE best OpenGL-only game)
