Geforce2 and Enemy Territory

For some reason, I don't remember enemy territory being forced to use the Mesa driver before.  Is this really necessary?  Doesn't sound right to me.  In fact, I can't see where Mesa is even mentioned in my Xorg.conf

The famous output (just the end of the text should be recognizable)

***********************************************************
 You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!   
 Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
 If this is intentional, add
       "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
 to the command line when starting the game.
***********************************************************

Received signal 11, exiting...

Just in case, and if nothing else (maybe it's supposed to use Mesa?), any critique on my Xorg.conf file...???  The file is only hand-edited, I took out all the automatic monitor settings, and set the monitor up manually.  I also added Option  "RenderAccel" "true", which hasn't achieved anything.

I'm sorry if this is an easy answer.  I've put a few hours into trying to figure it out, but it wouldn't suprise me if there was a simple answer out there.  If there's any help of any kind, it would be very appreciated!
Thanks.

Re: Geforce2 and Enemy Territory

$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

Okay, could this be because the nvidia-legacy package doesn't install nvidia-glx?  Is that even possible?  LOL.  I didn't pay much attention to the package.  If that's the case, guess I could always try manually installing the nvidia driver.  Just don't like doing that, 'cause I have to remember the right one, and it feels kinda messy.

Re: Geforce2 and Enemy Territory

Manual install of

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run

works.  Is it on purpose that glx is disabled in nvidia-legacy?  Probably a dumb question?
