in case anyone else has this issue setting up the nvidia driver under 2.6.6
v3.4 5-17 2000

ive read several posts and articles from multiple sources ann all of them said the same thing

load glx


this just wouldnt work for me
so out of the blue i tried

load GLX (note the caps)

and bam it worked

so if you got nvidia loaded but glx dosnt seem to be working try caps

in fact im running 1.0.6106 the lates instead of the 5223 or whatever version is on the posts

ony draw back ive had is dosnt seem to recognize my 5700LE but the vanilla verison seems to work find
