Not many in the Linux arena run "performance" cards.

1280x1024 is my native res.

And yes, I always thought Nex was lacking in terms of graphics. It really didn't bother me much, though, since the gameplay is so great.

There are a lot more Linux native games than on that list. Some of them are bad, but some are actually decent. Here's a few more:
Extreme Tux Racer
Glest
Frets On Fire
OpenLieroX

(Non-open source games
UT 2004
QuakeWars

Does any body know the name of the sled game in which you control the sled (with Tux) using your laptop's accelerometer? I wanna try that

[The Hundred Gunner]

Is that Tux Racer?

Melcar what did you use to install your drivers. The ones from the nvidia website won't install. I used envy to install them, but I think they're out of date or something, because I get horrible fps.

[Melcar]

The nvidia drivers should be as easy as the ATI drivers. Just run the script (that's what I do). Just remember to initialize the driver before you reboot.
