I recently installed redhat 9 on 2 of my systems and am having problems getting the NVIDIA driver working correctly. I downloaded the latest driver from their site, installed it and now I get about 0.5 fps in glxgears.
What I cant figure out is I have installed this driver many times before with no problems, is their an issue with the new NVIDIA driver?

I believe the previous post likely is the answer.
I found the README and it makes those direct suggestions.
I'm running glxgears at +1800 FPS
I guess that's good.

load module "dri"
and
load module "glcore"
the last one is not usually there but you never know
I have done this on both machines, what I cant figure out is I have installed this driver many times before and had no problems, the only difference I can find is NVIDIA seems to have a new driver 5xxx, instead of the 4xxx I had used in the past. It seems I have read somewhere that my openGL libraries might not be linked correctly and it is trying to use the old libraries??...
