And so how does one tell if his nvidia drivers are installed 
"correctly"?  I'm running nvidia drivers built via portage on a Gentoo 
2.6.13 system.  Yet I don't think I have any video acceleration as 
visualizations seem to "stutter" slightly and my CPU is at 100%.  This 
is on an Athlon XP 2800.

Thanks,

Drew
