3d hardware acceleration


hey i have red hat 9 and a geforce2. i have installed the latest drivers off of nvidia but still cannot use 3d hardware acceleration, which means that even some screensavers look horrible (not to mention chromium, which is a great game). any ideas?

Have you downloaded the readme.txt file from nvidia that tells you how to edit your /etc/X11/xf86config-4 file? If not, do so and do the editing.
