Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 440 OpenGL in Slackware 10.1

Hi
I have Nvidia Geforce 2 MX/MX400 but i can't install it.
I Downloaded drivers from nvidia.com and install it
in xorgconfig is only Nvidia Geforce any more.
In Quake III Arena get message
Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
why?

DO NOT USE XORGCONFIG. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf the way the Readme told you. Also, it is dificult to deciper your message, sounds poetic and has the potential of misunderstanding of a poem with it.
Specifically:
1. No DRI, Load GLX
2. Driver should be nvidia
