How does one build DRI for nvidia.  One finds in Hoary
# ls /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri
gamma_dri.so  mga_dri.so   r200_dri.so    tdfx_dri.so
i915_dri.so   r128_dri.so  radeon_dri.so

Does this mean that one can not get 3D acceleration with nvidia cards ?
I am interested in running a 3D rendering program NVIZ in GRASS . As I
start the picture flashes once and disppears. Any  suggestion is
welcome.

Happy ubuntu
