I agree the nvidia drivers are awesome.  I have a Riva TnT (the original
16mb pci) but I traded it for an ATI Xpert 98 with 16mb because the ATI
is a little quicker..

My OpenGL is fine. I have been playing with RH 7.1 and my OpenGL works
great.  When I get home I'll put my XFconfig file up here so you can see
it and check it to yours. =20

Might just be something with glx permissions.  Sometimes they get
screwy.
Might want to try running

glxinfo=20

in a terminal and see if it is running or not.  I think I also set mine
to use the ATI Rage Pro instead of the XPERT, and then I use the r128
module for X instead of the ati..  Makes a huge difference.
