If you're using the nv driver that comes with centos, then this is expected -- that's a 2D driver only. If you need 3D, you'll need to download and use the binary driver from nvidia.

I did - compiled it and everything, in run level 3.
I must be missing a step or something....

And you adjusted the xorg.conf appropriately afterwards?
lsmod should show nvidia as a loaded module if X is running and the proprietary drivers are set up properly.

Well, I would if I knew what the heck I was doing - how do I adjust what? Or where do I look to find out how xorg.conf should be organized and adjusted, etc.
Not knowing this before, I foolishly failed to check the lsmod before I left the house, so I won't know until later.
Thanks.

Well, on the nvidia site where you grabbed the driver software, they have a README file which is quite thorough.....

Oh, that. (sigh) I did read it. I forgot.
Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa. (This time only. :-)
Thanks, Jim.
