[lug] Re: Enabling 3D Acceleration

If you haven't already, you'll need to download a linux driver for the
nvidia card from nvidia's website. It's just a script that you run.
When it runs, it builds a module. Run 'modprobe nvidia' to load it,
and then configure xorg to use the nvidia driver. After that you
should be good to go.
