Actually I kind of had learning pains with the Nvidia card on my new 
computer with 7.3.  Was hoping with the 8.0 release it would go a 
little easier. With 8.0 I just let YOU do it's thing and setup the 
card with Sax and it works fine for me. I ran 3Ddiag and got the 
following report back:

Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board
"nVidia Coorporation GeForce3_1 (10de@0201)":

Tests for package "NVIDIA_kernel":
  package ... done.
  package files ... done.
Tests for package "NVIDIA_GLX":
  package ... done.
  package files ... done.

Tests for correct OpenGL libraries/GLX extensions:
  Symbolic Links ... done.
  /etc/sysconfig/3ddiag (SCRIPT_3D=switch2nvidia_glx) ... done.

Test for correct XFree86 version ... done.

Tests for XFree86 configuration:
  Config File /etc/X11/XF86Config ... done.
  Driver ... done.

So it appears everything is as it should be.
