There are two problems with the nVidia drivers - one is that they break
OpenGL and the second is you don't know how as they are closed source.
There was a way to fix the driver (which had to be done before you
installed the software), but you'll need to do some googling - try
"nvidia"+"opengl".

Personally, I stick with the ones supplied with my distro (Fedora). They
may be slower, but at least I can see whats going on.

TTFN
