Video driver problems...


Well, before I installed my nvidia drivers, my screen savers in opengl were very sluggish. I installed the nvidia drivers, and I see a nvidia splash screen when I start Fedora core 3.

The problem is if i try to test opengl with glxgears, i get a black screen then get thrown back into the fc3 login prompt screen.

I'm not sure exactly what I should do to try and fix it. Should I reinstall my nvidia drivers? If so, how do I do that?

The only thing that seems to work in opengl so far are my screen savers....

Did you modify /etc/X11/XF86Config?

You MUST comment out "load "dri"" and add "load "glx""

Did you try installing the latest drivers (7167). For Fedora, the X configuration file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
