can you post your xorg.conf?

i'm pretty sure you need to set "NvAGP" to "3" in order to use the
nvidia 3d acceleration. you'll also need to turn "direct rendering" on
in your bios.

for a clear, concise guide on how to get the most out of your nvidia
driver, go here:

that should get everything working fine ....

(btw - which kernel are you using?)
