Hi Dwanye,
I hope the following will work for you. First, I should let you know
that I use an older version of the Nvidia drivers, because the have been
very stable for me and and UT wigs out when I try to go from full screen
into a windowed mode with it. The latest seem to work fine for a friend
of mine who has an AMD motherboard(different chipset than mine). It
seems every time Nvidia comes out with a newer version it break
compatibilty on one of our chipsets and makes it work on the other. I'm
using NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769(and kernel of course), fyi(for your
information), unpacked from tarball. I go into the kernel one and do a
make clean, then make. In the glx i just do a make. Then I make sure the
following directories look like below, if you see anything different,
and you probably will, at least in /usr/X11R6/lib, then remove the files
that are not shown in the listing.

Hope that helps,
