    Ok, please help a noob

    I am really interested in linux. I just need to get my vid card to utilize it's hardware. It doesn't seem to be hardware accelerated.

    My card is a GeForce4 Ti4200. I have downloaded both files and tryed to install them. Yet, my games are so slow. What should i do for proper driver installation?

    did you follow the dinstructions completely?

    Did you go through /etc/X11/XF86Config and edit it to use the nvidia drivers and add/remove the lines they tell you to?

    After that, make sure that the games are using hardware acceleration and not software which is the defauly for most of the games im used to (quake 2, etc)
