After a few failed attempts, I finally got my nvidia opengl drivers to work. That game Chromium rocks! :smile:

nVidia OpenGl drivers are a real pain to install...If there's one area where Linux needs to improve, it would be Graphics config. (X, drivers, etc...)

Yeah, I know. I tried many times to get OpenGL to work in linux. I followed mandrake specific directions and tried rpms, sources, everything... I never got it to work. Then one day, I installed Mandrake 8.1, and recompiled the source kernel driver rpm, installed it, installed the glx rpm, changed nv to nvidia, and added load "glx" to my config file, and everything worked. Proof of luck I guess...

Just got mine working too :) Chromium graphics are cool, I also like Tux Racer. What a shame, I just installed Mandrake 8.1 and the first think I did was to try all those games :)

I got mine working on Redhat 7.2. Tux and Chronium work great. I also get a few more FPS on Quake3 in Linux then in Windows.

Are you the friend who works on computers? :cool:

Guys I installed nVidia's drivers and they're working ( I can play TuxRacer with no trouble - I've done all the changes I should to XF86-4 - nVidia's logo comes up - bla bla bla ...). But whenever I try to start Chromium, it NEVER RUNS AND NOTHING HAPPENS: It's like hitting a dead shortcut or a non-existing program. I can run and have set up the SETUP program to no avail. The thing NEVER EVEN STARTS (I actually checked the running processes).
I've got Red Hat 7.2 on a Celeron 525 (466 o/c) and 128 MBs of RAM. I remember installing the games and the others all work great.

Does it tell you anything useful if you run it from the command line?

What's the 'command'/name of the program that should be typed on the command line for chromium? In which folder?

uh, it's "chromium". It should be in your path, so should run just be typing that. On my box, it's full path is /usr/games/chromium. The command "which chromium" will tell you where it is.
