You're an ID ten T.  

MrX:
everything (that i think) works now. the gl screen savers, tux racer. the next thing i would like to do is get Racer to work. i would like to thank WMD for helping me, and he should make a revised version of that walk-trough and make it available on the web. but, when i launch tux racer, it sets to the wrong place on the screen, up alittle and to the left about 3 cm. how to i make it fit in the screen? my moniter settings is 1024x768 at 70hz. is there a way i can configur tux racer at these settings?

MrX:
i got racer halfway working, i just need to install the FMOD files. i will read the readme.txt for the linux version and if i cant figure it out i will ask how. thanks!

This is usually done in the setup of the game(try full screen).

If you really want to test your driver, try Wolfenstein ET(it's free    )

If you used the latest driver, you also have a graphical setup program.
Just open a console and type:  nvidia-settings

where is setup option? when i launch the game from the start menu, all i get is start exebition, practise, credits (which locks up my computer but the song still plays) and quit.

another thing, i am trying to get racer to work, downloaded the linux version for fmod. then i put the
"----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linux specific issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linux users link against libfmod-3.73.so.  This file must also be present
with your executable for distribution." (from the readme) into the racer folder, then made racer launch by typing ./racer in the konsole, then it said "error to link" or something. in the tutorials/basics, it said

this is a line from the file
"Linux / GCC - #include "fmod.h" into your source code and link with libfmod-X-Y.so (i.e gcc file.c -lfmod-3.5) "

what does this mean and how can i do this. thankyou insomnia for the tips, i will try the nvdia command.
