I have never done it so this may be useless;
You could look in /usr/share/doc/packages/nv_glx/ and=20
/usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx/README NVIDIA_GLX
'apropos nvidia' also suggest 'man nv'

see what '3Ddiag' tells you (typed in a terminal)
install any needed software
if you can't get Sax2 working you might get by with editing /etc/sysconfi=
g
first login as root and 'init 1' to kill x and go into single user mode
'vi /etc/sysconfig'
move around to find a line something like SCRIPT_3D=3D"switch2nvidia_glx"=
 if it=20
doesn't say that make sure it does. vi commands [insert], change text [es=
c],=20
[:w], [:q]=20
'init 3'

cross your fingers and make sacrifices to local gods.
