Bendard,

I don't think that the 2.2.16 kernel has dri support.

To use the full potential of the Gforce you will need to compile the 2.4.x 
kernel with DRI support.

After compiling the new kernel for DRI support, you will also want to pull down 
the latest GForce drivers from Nvidia's site.

Someone will surely correct me if I am wrong here.
