To reiterate; You're probably responding to other posts in this thread, but, 
you replied to mine. I am NOT having any problems, either with glxgears 
results (around 2800 FPS), Blender, or GoogleEarth. All seems to be well with 
my system; I'm running a P4 2.8 GHz CPU w/1GB of ram, and a nVidia 6200 card 
and the latest nVidia driver from freshrpms. The only issue I'm having is 
when I use the nVidia X server setting configuration utility, and there, the 
only issue seems to be when I query an informational button - the one that's 
labeled "Open GL/GLX Information" - then, and only then, my screen goes black 
and shortly after, returns me to the login screen. --- It sounds and seems 
strange, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it
