I am using RED hat 8 and i have a problem trying to use the hardware graphics instead the software graphics when playing games.

Linux "Display" won't allow me to make it use the hardware support.

do i need a new driver because i have got that but i don't know how to install it.

Later,
Buzza

KernelPanic:
Shall I use my 6th sense to determine what video card you own and what drivers you are using?

Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64

Generic Drivers

mobrien_12:
All NVIDIA cards need proprietary nvidia drivers for 3d hardware accel.

I don't like the fact that they are not GPL, but NVIDIA does let people modify the kernel module source now, so long as they give it back to nvidia.    I had terrible problems with earlier versions of the NVIDIA drivers but the latest ones havn't crashed my computer yet.

voidmain:
Yeah same here. I have the Geforce2 card and the earlier drivers were a little unstable. Haven't had a problem with the newer ones. I like the NVidia cards and also wish they would open up their technology, but I'm happy with the support they currently give. It's a lot more than most.
