Or you might avoid the kernal stability and latency problems that some 
people have with the nvidia drivers by sticking with the nv X driver, 
and installing the version of the OpenGL shared library that does all 
the 3D magic in software and thus won't ask the X server to do it. It 
is probably in another RPM package, at least, that's the way SuSE has 
handled this.
