OKay, So I installed the glx and kernel rpms as per the readme and now I
get this when trying to run tuxracer:

NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)
Error: Could not open /dev/nvidiactl because the permissions
are too resticitive.  Please see the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
section of /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for steps
to correct.

Ownership of those devices are set up automatically when you log in to X (assuming you're using graphical login). Try loggin out and in again, hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace once at the login prompt to restart the X server. Make sure you're not logged in at any console as well. If that doesn't fix it, try a reboot (I know, but it's easier than hunting down and killing stray processes of other users etc etc).


If you're using text login - booting to init 3 - you'll need to chmod /dev/nvidia* 666.
