Hello,
     Just about given up here.  I'm having no luck in getting this NVIDIA 
GeForce 2 graphics card to work with RH 7.2.  I have downloaded the GLX and 
Kernel drivers from NVIDIA and installed.  Install went through with out any 
errors.  KDE comes up fine.  When I try to start tux this is what I get:

*** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX 
visual (Success)

Has anyone else had any luck with this card?

Thanks...
