Alright. I am relativlety new to linux. I downloaded and ran cube, and noticed FPS were running at about 7 fps, and my graphics card is a MSI FX 5200 TDR128 which is better than the optimal specs on the instruction manual that came with cube "ideal spec: 1ghz and gf3/radeon8500 or better (fluent in all cases)"..This is odd because most openGL progs installed on windoze2000 (my machines a dual boot) run like 30-50 fps. It said something about changing OpenGL support from MESA to actual hardware acceleration. "I have an amazing graphics card but Cube still runs at 9 fps!
Cube is somehow running on software OpenGL. This can happen because you are on a default windows install and haven't installed the latest drivers for your card, or similarly on Linux the system is using Mesa instead of accellerated drivers" So I got the Nvidia drivers and YanC but when I execute the .run program for the drivers it says I have to turn off Xserver. Can someone show me how to do this?

Or If theres a better way I will do it. All I need accomplished is to enable hardware acceleration so OpenGL actually runs well. All advice/comments/help appreciated.
Thanks,
Phoenix
